  • Strong backend development experience with TypeScript/Node.js and modern AWS services such as Lambda, EventBridge, and SQS.

  • Proficiency with at least one database technology, either SQL or NoSQL, in production systems.
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills using logs, metrics, and tracing.
  • Experience with GraphQL API design and implementation is highly valuable.

  • Familiarity with CloudWatch Logs Insights, New Relic, or similar observability platforms is highly valuable.
  • Experience with multi-tenant architecture and tenant-specific configuration management is highly valuable.
  • Background working in strict SLA, compliance-heavy, or high-operational-load environments is highly valuable.
  • The role is remote in Canada, with occasional travel up to once per quarter.
  • The hiring team values continuous learning, grit, hunger, and drive over formal educational pedigree.
