  • Maintain and enhance existing applications, APIs, and data pipelines
  • Continuously build expertise in new technologies and share knowledge with the team
  • Help the team progress, identify risks, and simplify complex challenges

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience-including non-traditional or self-taught backgrounds
  • 5+ years of experience in application development
  • Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, and design patterns
  • Proficient in backend/API development using Java Spring Boot, Node.js, and TypeScript
  • Skilled in working with relational databases
  • Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes
  • Familiarity with several Amazon Web Services (AWS) offerings

Preferred Qualifications:
