You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor and guide junior engineers, and influence the technical strategy to ensure our client's products are innovative, efficient, and aligned with industry best practices.

In this position, you will be responsible for designing and implementing end-to-end solutions, from user interfaces to server-side logic. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deploy solutions that leverage AWS services and serverless frameworks. Your expertise in serverless architecture, along with your knowledge of full-stack Type Script/Node programming and React, will be crucial in driving the success of their projects.

Responsibilities
  • Lead the design and development of end-to-end full-stack serverless solutions, integrating React static websites to serverless backends using GraphQL.
  • Optimize application architecture and infrastructure to enhance performance, scalability, and maintainability while reducing technical debt and improving overall system efficiency.
  • Design efficient DynamoDB data models using Single Table Design.
  • Define and implement a robust testing strategy across front-end and back-end code, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, to ensure high code quality and early issue detection.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers, to develop and refine the technical roadmap, ensuring alignment with business objectives and product vision.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams, promoting a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and adherence to best practices.
  • Drive and participate in technical discussions and decision-making processes, offering expertise on full-stack architecture, design patterns, and industry best practices.
  • Conduct thorough code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards and the delivery of maintainable, scalable, and efficient applications.
  • Take ownership of complex full-stack projects, managing project timelines, addressing risks, and ensuring successful delivery of high-quality solutions.
Desired Qualifications
  • Demonstrated success in designing and delivering high-quality, scalable full-stack applications with a robust understanding of front-end and back-end architecture, performance optimization, and system integration.
  • Extensive experience with React, Type Script, and AWS Services like Cloud Front, S3, App Sync, DynamoDB, Lambdas, Step Functions, and Event Bridge.
  • Exceptional leadership and mentoring capabilities, with a track record of guiding engineering teams to achieve technical excellence, maintain high coding standards, and implement best practices.
  • Proficiency in implementing and maintaining security best practices across the entire stack, including secure coding practices, data encryption, and ensuring compliance with security standards and regulations.
Desired Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D.) preferred.
  • 10+ years of experience in full-stack software development, with a strong portfolio of complex, high-performance applications.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React) and back-end technologies (e.g., Node.js, Java, Python).
  • Proven experience leading and managing engineering teams, with at least three years in a senior or principal engineering role.
  • Extensive experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Demonstrated success in architecting and deploying scalable, secure, and high-availability systems.
Desired Hardware & Software Competency
  • Extensive experience with version control systems, notably Git, for managing code across complex, multi-environment projects and facilitating collaboration.
  • Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, using tools like Git Hub to automate builds, tests, and deployments, ensuring efficient and reliable application delivery.
  • Deep knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, including experience with services like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Google Cloud Functions for serverless architecture.
  • Experience with performance monitoring and logging tools, including Cloud Watch, Sentry, or Data Dog, to ensure application stability, performance optimization, and effective issue resolution.
