• Demonstrated ability to take an architectural design and translate it into working software solutions.
• Strong development experience with Node.js.
• Hands‑on experience with AWS technologies such as Lambda and AWS Glue.
• Strong experience designing, developing, and consuming REST APIs and web services.
• Experience identifying and resolving API performance and scalability challenges.
• Solid understanding of enterprise application integration and distributed systems.
• Experience conducting code reviews and providing meaningful technical guidance to junior or less experienced developers.
• Strong troubleshooting, problem‑solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working within an Agile/Scrum development environment.
• Experience collaborating with distributed or globally based development teams.
• Background working with enterprise‑scale applications and complex system integrations.
• Experience working within highly regulated industries such as insurance, healthcare, or financial services is beneficial.

What Makes This Opportunity Interesting

This role provides an opportunity to work on enterprise‑scale technology while helping modernize and improve critical applications and integrations.
