n
Why this role exists
n
Build and evolve a serverless, cloud-native platform on AWS

n
Work on real, distributed systems with real constraints
n
Solve problems where correctness and reliability matter
n
How you'll work
n
n
Design and build serverless services in AWS using TypeScript
n
Own meaningful parts of the system end to end
n
Make technical and architectural decisions without babysitting
n
Design for retries, idempotency, failure modes, and recovery
n
Improve system quality over time, not just close tickets
n
n
Autonomy is real - but it's autonomy without chaos.
n
What we're looking for

Event-driven services and managed cloud infrastructure
