- Work with AWS services such as Cognito, S3, ECS/Fargate, and RDS;
- Containerize applications using Docker and support deployment workflows;
- Ensure the application runs reliably in a scalable AWS environment;
- Collaborate with the founding team and technical partners to align on requirements and priorities;
- Troubleshoot deployment, infrastructure, and performance issues;
- Document setup steps and key technical decisions;
- Support or improve CI/CD pipelines as needed.
MUST HAVES
- 2 to 4 years of professional experience as a Fullstack Developer;
- Hands-on experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (Next.js and/or similar React frameworks);
- Experience building and maintaining Node.js backends (NestJS or similar frameworks);
- Basic to intermediate experience with AWS and cloud-based deployments;
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL and database migrations;
- Experience with Docker and containerized applications;
- Understanding of REST APIs and web application architecture;
- Ability to work independently on a well-defined scope;
- Clear written and verbal communication skills in a remote environment;
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience migrating applications from Heroku to AWS;
- Familiarity with AWS Cognito and authentication flows;
- Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions;
- Prior experience working with startups or small teams;
- Interest in longer-term collaboration and ongoing maintenance work.
