About the role
- Lead a team of engineers, driving technical delivery, mentoring, and team performance.
- Stay hands-on: write, review, and optimise clean, maintainable code in Node.js/TypeScript.
- Design scalable serverless solutions on AWS using services like Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, etc.
- Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to shape features from idea to implementation.
- Make architectural decisions and help define best practices for infrastructure and software development.
- Support DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., CloudFormation / CDK).
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to a high-quality engineering culture.
- Drive a performance and outcome-oriented mindset across the team.
Requirements
- Ideally, 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with some leadership experience.
- Strong expertise in Node.js and TypeScript.
- Deep, hands-on experience with AWS, particularly with Serverless architectures (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, etc.).
- Although this isn’t a Technical Architect role, some involvement in designing systems and solutions is key, not just in implementing them.
- Strong understanding of software engineering principles, testing, and CI/CD best practices.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, product-focused environment.
- Fluent English speaking.
