What We're Looking For

1. 5+ years of professional software development experience, with active hands-on coding in the last 12 months across both frontend and backend.
2. Strong, recent backend development experience with Node.js (please share what you have shipped in the last year).
3. Recent, advanced frontend experience with React.js and Next.js — including hooks, state management, and modern Next.js features (App Router, SSR/ISR).
4. Solid working knowledge of PostgreSQL: schema design, query optimization, indexing, and data modeling.
5. Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, and CloudWatch.
6. Demonstrated experience designing and integrating REST APIs in production.
7. Proficiency with Git, CI/CD workflows, and agile development.
8. Clear written and verbal communication.

Nice to have

1. Experience with Python.
