About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own and improve internal applications that support property/listing workflows, approvals, knowledge management, AI-assisted tooling, reporting, administration, and related platform capabilities
Build and maintain TypeScript/Node.js backends, API layers, and server-rendered applications using patterns such as NestJS/Fastify, Next.js, Astro/SvelteKit, and AWS Lambda
Contribute to our Next.js/Turborepo platform, including shared React UI, auth helpers, schemas, reference data, test tooling, deployment scripts, and developer experience
Work across AWS and data infrastructure including Lambda, API Gateway-style APIs, Amplify, AppSync, DynamoDB, S3, SSM, EventBridge, CloudWatch, ECS/Fargate, PostgreSQL, Drizzle, and Dynamoose
Maintain integrations with authentication services, listings APIs, knowledge base APIs, email workflows, analytics, search, Google Places, and AWS Bedrock-backed AI features
Help reduce single-person knowledge risk by documenting, simplifying, improving CI/CD/testing, and partnering with product and engineering leadership on pragmatic technical decisions

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with senior-level ownership of production systems
Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills, with comfort working from frontend components through backend services and infrastructure
Strong React and Next.js experience, including SSR/server components, API/client data boundaries, shared component systems, and modern frontend tooling
AI-first development mindset with real engineering depth: you use tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar, but can independently debug, design, test, review, and verify correctness
Experience with AWS-backed applications, especially Lambda/serverless patterns, S3, DynamoDB, SSM/secrets, CloudWatch, and CI/CD pipelines
Practical experience with databases, API contracts, runtime validation, authentication, authorization, and secure secret handling
Comfort maintaining mature systems that may use different patterns than the new platform, including server-rendered UIs, web components, and older deployment models
Clear communication, low ego, high ownership, strong testing instincts, and leadership potential: you can mentor, influence architecture, create alignment, and work from shared standards while staying pragmatic
