Job summary

TrueML seeks an experienced software engineer to lead frontend and backend development for the Client Portal (OTP Client Portal). You will drive architecture, own services end-to-end, and mentor engineers, shaping a multi-year platform consolidation strategy.

The role emphasizes TypeScript/Next.js on the frontend, Go on AWS Lambda for backend services, and IaC with Terraform. Collaboration across teams and a bias for reliability are essential.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 2+ years in a senior or tech lead capacity.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Next.js — the Client Portal is a Next.js mono-repo and the team's primary frontend technology.
• Experience with Go — our backend services run Go on AWS Lambda.
• Experience with AWS — specifically Lambda, DynamoDB, Secrets Manager, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, and ECR.
• Familiarity with Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code tooling (we use Terraform with Atlantis for automated IaC workflows).
• Strong grasp of API design, including OpenAPI/REST contracts and code generation.
• Experience with event-driven architectures and async messaging patterns.
• Comfort working across the full stack — you can move between frontend UI and backend service development.
• Experience operating services with high reliability requirements — you understand SLOs, runbooks, and incident response.

Responsibilities

• Design and build reliable, scalable frontend and backend systems for internal operations and external clients.
• Drive the technical roadmap for the Client Portal domain to support multi-year platform consolidation.
• Own services end-to-end: design, implementation, deployment, and on-call support.
• Build and maintain platform-level infrastructure (Entity Configuration) used by other domain teams.
• Collaborate with cross-domain teams on event-driven integration patterns and legacy-system integration.
• Contribute to frontend architecture decisions as the portal grows in scope and complexity.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to TrueML's engineering culture.
