• Participate in CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments
• Collaborate with product, QA, and cross-functional teams to ship high-quality releases

What We’re Looking For

• 4–8+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS Serverless (Lambda, S3, API Gateway)
• Proficiency in Nodejs for backend development
• Solid understanding of cloud-native architecture and distributed systems
• Experience working in Agile environments with CI/CD pipelines
• Experience building modern front-end applications with React / ReactJS (Nice to have)

Why This Role

• Opportunity to build and scale AWS serverless systems at national scale
• High ownership and architectural input as a senior engineer

• Stable, growth-oriented organization investing heavily in technology
• Competitive base + bonus structure
• Full benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k match, PTO, holidays)

This is a high-impact engineering role focused on designing and building scalable AWS serverless solutions and Node.js-based backend services that power critical customer-facing and operational systems at scale.
