• Translating requirements into a technical architecture, documentation, and final implementation.
• Creating well-documented, high-performance REST APIs and Graph

• Helping define and improve our internal standards regarding code style, maintainability, and scalability, among others.
• Working with clients to train and support in-house development teams and stakeholders in working with the software products we develop.

What You Bring

We expect you to be able to demonstrate:
• Experience with the development of (web) applications on a senior level, delivering high-quality, reliable software solutions using modern software development techniques (unit/integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, etc.).
• Track record of developing Node.js based server-side JavaScript/Type Script applications with frameworks like Express or Apollo.
• Experience running Node.js applications on containerized (Docker/Kubernetes) and/or serverless (Lambda) functions.
• Experience with event-driven software architecture and messaging queues such as SQS, Kafka, Rabbit

MQ.
• Knowledge of AWS/Azure and infrastructure as code principles (Terraform).
