• Cross‑Team Collaboration: Partner with Support, Product, and Engineering teams to understand pain points, streamline workflows, and drive operational improvements.
• Engineering Culture: Promote best practices in code quality, architecture, security, and deployment; mentor junior engineers; contribute to high‑quality code reviews and design discussions.
• Reliability Practices: Participate in on‑call rotations and post‑incident reviews to improve system reliability and response procedures.

Required Qualifications

• Hands‑on expertise with AWS cloud services (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, API Gateway, etc.).
• Strong proficiency in Node.js, Python, or similar modern backend languages.
• Experience implementing operational tooling, observability, and reliability patterns.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, testing frameworks, and version‑control best practices.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills with a focus on production systems and reliability.
• Ability to operate independently and drive impact with minimal high‑level direction.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience using Node.js.
• Experience in regulated environments such as insurance, healthcare, or finance.
• Exposure to monitoring/observability tools (Datadog, Grafana, CloudWatch, Prometheus, etc.).
• Understanding of SLAs, incident response processes, SRE principles, and operational playbooks.
• Experience working with a mix of legacy systems and modern cloud‑native services.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (JavaScript, Python, Bash) and SQL for operational automation.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
