  • 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, TypeScript, and AWS Services like CloudFront, S3, AppSync, DynamoDB, Lambdas, StepFunctions, and EventBridge.
  • 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 GitHub 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 CloudWatch, Sentry, or DataDog, to ensure application stability, performance optimization, and effective issue resolution.
  • Strong understanding of security best practices, including knowledge of OAuth, JWT, and SSL / TLS to ensure secure communication and data protection across full-stack applications.
