• Collaborate with DevEx leadership and Staff Engineers to implement architectural designs and deliver cloud-native, production-grade solutions.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, containerized services, and automation to enable reliable, efficient software delivery.

• Apply best practices for security, observability, performance, accessibility, and testing across the full stack.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of backend development using Java (Spring Boot) and/or Python.

• 3+ years of experience with modern web frameworks such as React, Next.js, or Vue.js (with at least some experience in React)

• 3+ years of experience working in UNIX/Linux environments, including shell scripting

• 2+ years of experience with DevOps tools and practices, including Docker, Git, and GitHub Actions

• 2+ years of experience with distributed systems and streaming or real-time processing technologies such as Kafka or Spark

2+ years of experience working with data platforms, including:

• Relational databases (PostgreSQL, including query optimization and schema migrations)

• NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, or Neo4j)

• Data warehousing platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, or Redshift)

• 2+ years of experience deploying and operating applications in cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience building modern web applications using React, Next.js, or Angular with TypeScript in cloud-based environments

• Strong experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL endpoints, particularly for developer-facing tooling

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes

• Experience implementing authentication and authorization solutions using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, JWT, and Spring Security across frontend and backend systems

• Knowledge of web accessibility (A11y), performance optimization, and end-to-end testing frameworks such as Cypress, Playwright, or Jest

• Experience with observability and monitoring tools including Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, CloudWatch, or the ELK stack

• Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, SQS)

• Experience using Python for scripting or automation

• Familiarity with Agentic AI frameworks or LLM integration (e.g., LangChain, AWS Bedrock) for AI-assisted developer tooling is a plus
