• Leading on front‑end code design and evaluation, while contributing across the full stack.
• Contributing to the design and implementation of APIs and backend services.
• Participating in agile ceremonies, code reviews, testing, and debugging.
• Mentoring junior developers, fostering a culture of collaboration and growth.
• Staying up‑to‑date with modern frameworks, tools, and best practices.
• Architecting and implementing serverless workflows and distributed systems with AWS (Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, etc.).

• Demonstrable experience with AWS cloud services (Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFormation).
• Hands‑on knowledge of Amazon States Language and serverless workflow orchestration.
• Proficiency in RESTful API design and integration.
• Experience with modern CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Strong unit testing experience (Jest or equivalent).
• Excellent problem‑solving, collaboration, and communication skills.
