  • Deploy, run and support solutions on AWS
  • Take ownership of technical solutions from design through to production
  • Work in cross-functional squads, including direct client engagement
  • Apply clean code, testability and maintainability
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and team engineering practices
  • Deliver in Agile and keep improving how the team ships

Requirements

Skills and experience:

  • Proven experience delivering production software in JavaScript and/or TypeScript
  • Strong React experience, including components, state and front-end architecture
  • Hands-on AWS experience, such as EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS or IAM
  • Solid API design, including REST, with GraphQL an advantage
  • Asynchronous and event-driven programming
  • Git, CI/CD and modern engineering practices
  • Automated testing across unit, integration and end-to-end
  • React Native or other mobile experience is an advantage
  • Microservices or BFF patterns, and Azure as a second cloud, are an advantage.
