Here's a summary of the role:
You'll build and own features across the full stack—from React UIs and Node.js APIs to serverless backends on AWS—and have room to grow into AI/ML work (LLMs, RAG, agentic AI). If you like shipping production code, owning services end-to-end, and learning in a collaborative team, this role is for you.
Role purpose:
You will design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications and backend services using React, TypeScript, and Node.js, deployed and operated on AWS (e.g., Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge, EC2).
You'll implement and evolve JWT-based authentication and authorization, write clear APIs, and contribute to architecture and code quality. Experience with REST APIs, serverless, event-driven systems, and cloud-native patterns will be central to your day-to-day work.
As the team grows its use of AI, you'll have opportunities to contribute to LLM integration, RAG, and agentic AI solutions.
We're looking for someone who cares about reliability, security, and maintainable code and who enjoys collaborating in an agile environment.
Here's
a breakdown of what
you'll
do (not all of it, just the important stuff):
Design and build responsive, accessible front-end features with
React
and
TypeScript
and integrate them with backend APIs.
Develop and maintain
Node.js
backend services and
AWS Lambda
functions, including API design, data modelling, and persistence (e.g.
DynamoDB
).
Implement and improve
JWT-based authentication
and authorization flows across front end and backend.
Use
AWS
services (e.g.
S3
,
SQS
,
EventBridge
,
Lambda
) to build event-driven, scalable solutions and support existing workloads.
Participate in code reviews, testing, deployment pipelines, and operational support so features are reliable and maintainable.
Contribute to exploring and integrating
AI/ML
capabilities (e.g.
LLMs
,
RAG
,
agentic AI
) as the product and team evolve.
These
are the essentials
you'll
need to get an interview:
3–5 years of professional software engineering experience
in an agile, fast-paced environment.
Strong hands-on experience with
React
and
TypeScript
building production web applications.
Solid
Node.js
experience developing APIs or backend services (REST, async processing, error handling).
Practical experience with
AWS
(e.g.
Lambda
,
S3
,
DynamoDB
,
SQS
or similar) in at least one project or product.
Experience implementing or integrating
JWT
(or similar token-based) authentication and authorization.
Ability to write clear, testable code and to collaborate through
code reviews
and
version control
(e.g. Git).




Good written and verbal communication; able to explain technical decisions and trade-offs.
Eagerness to learn, adapt to new tools and patterns, and work in an agile, team-oriented workplace.
It would be great if you had these to, but we'll support you if you don't:
Experience with
RAG
,
LLM APIs
, or
agentic AI
(e.g. prompt design, tool use, evaluation).
Familiarity with
AWS
beyond the basics (e.g.
EventBridge
,
Step Functions
,
API Gateway
, infrastructure as code such as
CDK
or
Terraform
).
Experience with
testing
(unit, integration, or e2e) and
CI/CD
pipelines.
Knowledge of
security
and
compliance
considerations in cloud and API design.
