  • Contribute to the evolution of our platform as we tackle new challenges.


🔍 What We’re Looking For

  • Demonstrated experience designing, building, and deploying enterprise-scale SaaS applications, including multi-tenant architectures, high availability, and robust security controls.
  • Proven track record of implementing scalable cloud-native infrastructure (AWS preferred), including monitoring, observability, cost optimization, and automated deployment pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of software design and integration patterns (APIs, SSO, identity management, RBAC) to meet customer and security requirements.
  • Experience leading technical architecture decisions in scaling environments, including performance tuning, data modeling for scale, and high-volume transaction processing.
  • Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term technical strategy.
  • Proven experience with React, Node.js, GraphQL, Material UI, JS, and CSS.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering and non-technical teams.
  • Familiarity with agile development, CI/CD, and version control (e.g. Git).
  • Passion for writing clean, maintainable code and continuously improving how we build.
  • A sharp eye for detail and a methodical, solutions-oriented mindset.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.
  • AWS DevOps experience.
  • Over 5 years of experience in Software Engineering.
