Job description

Position Overview

You’ll shape the future of a business-critical platform as the technical lead across product engineering and cloud infrastructure. You’ll drive the evolution toward a cloud-native, React/Node.js, AI-enabled architecture, while owning architecture end-to-end across backend, frontend, CI/CD, DevOps, and AWS infrastructure.

This role offers the opportunity to influence technical direction, drive modernization, and establish engineering standards across teams.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff)

• Lead the architecture and development of scalable Node.js services and APIs powering a business-critical platform.

• Design and operate AWS infrastructure using AWS CDK and TypeScript to support secure, scalable, multi-environment deployments.

• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and modern DevOps practices.

• Drive modernization initiatives including clean architecture, refactoring, and technical debt reduction.

• Design and optimize PostgreSQL and MSSQL solutions for performance, scalability, and reliability.

• Build and integrate React and TypeScript applications with backend services and REST APIs.

• Drive cloud, DevOps, and software engineering best practices across teams.

• Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership on complex engineering initiatives.

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview

• 8+ years of experience delivering and operating scalable software systems.

• Strong hands-on expertise with Node.js, TypeScript, and modern backend architecture.

• Strong production experience with AWS is mandatory, including services such as EC2/ECS, Lambda, S3, IAM, VPC, and CloudWatch.

• Proven experience designing and improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.

• Strong experience with React and TypeScript and integrating frontends with backend services and REST APIs.

• Strong understanding of software design principles, clean architecture, design patterns, and distributed systems.

• Experience leading technical initiatives, mentoring engineers, and influencing engineering standards across teams.

It would be great if you had these too, but we’ll support you if you don’t

• Experience with Docker, ECS, GitHub Actions, and observability platforms such as Datadog or Grafana.

• Experience with AWS CDK or other Infrastructure-as-Code tools.

• Exposure to cloud security, compliance, FinOps, or multi-account AWS environments.

• Familiarity with AI/ML integrations, such as AWS Bedrock, RAG, or LLM-based applications.

• Experience with AWS serverless architectures and cloud-native modernization.

• Experience shaping AI-enabled, cloud-native architectures.
