  • Design and build efficient, reusable systems and tools for team use, focusing on speed and long-term success.
What you’ll need to be successful:
  • Significant and demonstrable server software development experience.
  • Fluent in JavaScript (Node.js) and TypeScript, NestJS is a plus.
  • Extensive familiarity with distributed and in-memory database systems like Redis.
  • Good knowledge of Docker, bonus for experience with orchestration systems like Kubernetes or ECS.
