* Build serverless applications and microservices using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, and other AWS technologies
* Develop primarily with Python and Node.js
* Contribute to front‑end applications using React and React Native
* Design and consume APIs, including GraphQL‑based services
* Partner with architects and developers on technical designs and architecture decisions
* Work directly with business stakeholders to gather requirements and recommend technical solutions
* Translate technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders
* Coordinate UAT and gather feedback from business users and pre‑release testers
* Participate in CI/CD, testing, deployment, and production support
* Lead technical workstreams and take ownership of projects from design through delivery
* Conduct code reviews and mentor junior engineers

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field

* Experience with AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 , or similar AWS services
* Strong development experience with Python and/or Node.js
* Experience working with both SQL and NoSQL databases
* Experience with modern CI/CD tools and development practices
* Experience owning or leading development projects
* Experience conducting code reviews and/or mentoring junior engineers
* Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
* Ability to gather business requirements and translate them into technical solutions
* Recent U.S.-based project experience strongly preferred
