• Develop services primarily in JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js); contribute to shared libraries and platform components

• Leverage AI tools to accelerate development, improve test coverage, and enhance developer productivity

• Ensure high-quality deliverables through code reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technical strategy, sequence work, and deliver business value

• Drive root‑cause analysis for production issues and implement preventative measures

• Strong proficiency with Node.js and JavaScript/TypeScript, including API design and performance tuning

• Hands‑on experience with AWS services and infrastructure‑as‑code (CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform)

• CI/CD experience: designing and operating build/test/release pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), artifact management, automated deployments, and rollback strategies

• Practical experience using AI tools in development (e.g., code generation, test synthesis, static analysis, or integrating model‑based features)

• Solid understanding of relational and/or NoSQL databases; schema design and optimization

• Fluency in English (written and spoken); excellent communication and collaboration skills

• Demonstrated ability to mentor peers, influence architecture, and drive technical decisions
   

Preferred Qualification:

• Knowledge of C++ for performance‑critical components

• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker)

• Familiarity with observability tools such as Splunk and Dynatrace for monitoring and troubleshooting

• Security best practices and compliance awareness (identity, secrets, network policies)
   

How You Work:

• You lead by example, write clean, well‑tested code, and elevate team standards

• You communicate decisions clearly and collaborate effectively across global teams

• You balance velocity with quality and use data and AI‑assisted insights to improve productivity
