About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Full Stack Developer/Senior Software Engineer to join an Agile delivery team.

Essential:
  • Backend Development: Strong experience with Node.js (including frameworks such as Express).
  • Package Management: Proficiency with NPM.
  • Testing: Strong commitment to Test Driven Development (TDD) and common test frameworks (eg, Jest, Mocha, Chai).
  • Databases: Experience with both Relational and NoSQL data stores (eg, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB).
  • CI/CD and DevOps: Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling (eg, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and Containers (Docker).
Desirable:
  • Experience with TypeScript.
  • Knowledge of Microservices and Event-Driven Architecture (eg, Kafka, SNS/SQS, EventBridge).
  • Cloud platform experience, particularly AWS.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes.
  • Familiarity with Node.js performance tuning and observability tooling (eg, OpenTelemetry).
