• Proactively identify areas for improvement in our systems and propose architectural changes.

Technology Requirements

• 8+ years of professional experience as a backend developer.
• Deep expertise in Typescript and NestJS, with solid knowledge of relational and non‑relational databases.
• Hands‑on experience designing and deploying microservices and event‑driven systems.
• 3+ years running workloads on AWS Lambda and related services (DynamoDB, RDS), with strong understanding of cloud architecture patterns.
• Strong understanding of clean code principles, separation of concerns, and software design patterns.
• Solid experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code and monitoring practices is a plus.
