• Model and manage structured and unstructured data using SQL and No
  
  SQL databases (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, RDS, S3).
• Maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, Git Hub workflows, and automated testing suites to ensure production-grade code quality.

• Implement enterprise search, indexing, and data retrieval capabilities using Amazon Open Search and Kendra.
• Collaborate with data engineers to build ETL pipelines that unify disparate client data sources into searchable, actionable architectures.
• Integrate identity management and authentication best practices using AWS Cognito.

• Partner directly with Product Managers, UX Designers, and client stakeholders to refine requirements and demo completed features.
• Active participant in architecture reviews, sprint ceremonies, and team code reviews to elevate engineering standards across projects.

• Experience:
  
  3–5+ years of professional full-stack engineering experience utilizing JavaScript and Type Script.
• Core Stack:
  Deep expertise in ReactJS, Node.js, Express, RESTful APIs, and database design (SQL & No
  
  SQL).
• AWS Cloud Depth:
  Proven track record building and deploying cloud-native applications on AWS infrastructure (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, S3).
• Consulting Mindset:
  Excellent written and verbal communication habits with experience (or strong desire) working in client-facing agile teams.

• Experience in client-facing roles or consulting environments
• Expertise with Open Search, Kendra, or similar search/indexing services
• Experience implementing semantic search or working with LLMs in search pipelines
• Familiarity with AWS Glue, Athena, Step Functions, or other ETL tooling
• Working knowledge of Cognito and identity management best practices
• Experience with React Native or mobile-focused frontends
• Exposure to HIPAA, SOC2, or other compliance environments
• Remote-First Working Environment – Collaborate from anywhere while staying connected with our global team.
• Collaborative, Innovative Culture – Work alongside top talent in a fast-paced, supportive environment that values curiosity and initiative.
