• Cloud & Microservices Integration: Design and implement seamless integrations between FileMaker and modern cloud infrastructures, utilizing AWS serverless architectures (Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB).
• Full-Stack Collaboration: Work extensively with JavaScript and modern front-end frameworks (Angular, React micro-frontends) to build robust user interfaces and decouple legacy dependencies.
• Database Modeling: Drive advanced database design and data modeling, bridging FileMaker with enterprise relational databases like PostgreSQL (via tools like Hasura).
• AI & Automation: Identify and implement AI tools and automated workflows to streamline development, accelerate data migration testing, and enhance product capabilities.

Qualifications

• Expert-Level FileMaker: Absolute dominion over the FileMaker platform, including complex scripting, advanced relational design, server management, and Data API utilization.
• Cloud Architecture Expertise: Proven experience designing and deploying serverless applications on AWS, with a deep understanding of multi-tenant SaaS structures.
• JavaScript & Web Technologies: Strong proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), Node.js, and experience working alongside full-stack engineering teams.
• Microservices & API Mastery: Extensive background in building, consuming, and securing RESTful and GraphQL APIs.
• Leadership Experience: A track record of acting as a technical lead, managing aggressive software development timelines, and driving complex integrations across different systems.
• Forward-Thinking: A hands‑on approach to exploring new technologies, including AI integration, to solve complex engineering challenges.

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance, 401(k) with employer match, paid time off.
