We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to take ownership of a robust microservices-based backend built on AWS. The ideal candidate will have deep experience in system design, event-driven architecture, and domain-driven development.

You’ll work closely with the tech and product teams to build and evolve our backend systems, ensure technical excellence, and make key decisions that shape our domain.

This role is backend-heavy, but experience with React/React-Native is a plus to support our frontend developer when needed.

🛠️ Our Tech Stack

Cloud: AWS (ECS, Lambda, SQS, SNS, AppSync, Amplify, DynamoDB, RDS Postgres)

Languages: TypeScript / Node.js (primary), Python (occasional)

Architecture: Event-driven microservices, DDD-aligned service boundaries

Frontend: React (optional)

Data: DynamoDB, PostgreSQL
