Cloud experience (AWS preferred) and an understanding of CI/CD and modern engineering practices

Someone who enjoys mentoring others and helping raise engineering standards

Comfortable working in a collaborative scale-up environment with real ownership

Legacy Angular front end, currently being migrated incrementally to React

Wider product ecosystem already uses React with a shared component library

AWS CDK exposure is a strong plus

Strong relevance for engineers who’ve worked on legacy-to-modern stack migrations, especially moving products from older front-end architectures into newer frameworks
