• Scalability & Performance: Develop systems that can handle large-scale traffic while maintaining low latency and high availability.
• Problem-Solving: Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues across distributed services, databases, and third-party integrations.
• Continuous Learning: Stay current with emerging technologies, languages, and frameworks, applying them to current and future projects.
• Code Quality & Reviews: Maintain high standards of code quality, performance, and scalability through thorough testing, code reviews, and best practices.

Required Experience & Skills:

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend development.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript or comparable backend languages (e.g., Go, Python).
• Deep knowledge of AWS services and architecture patterns (experience with other cloud providers is a plus).
• Demonstrated success building scalable, high-performance systems in production.
• Experience in fast-paced, startup environments where quick decisions and agility are crucial.
• Self-directed and comfortable with working independently, with excellent organizational and project management skills.
• A solid foundation in software design principles, including writing extensible, reusable, and maintainable code.

• Hands-on knowledge of infrastructure as code (e.g., Serverless Framework, Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Startup culture experience, we expect team members to take full ownership of their work. Speed, agility, and persistence are key but also embracing long hours when necessary to deliver results.
