Developer Lead Serverless AWS

Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Developer Lead (Full-Stack) who takes ownership and stays highly hands-on. You design, build, and ship key features end-to-end with minimal overhead, no endless alignment, and no “ping-pong” back and forth. The focus is speed of execution, engineering accountability, and predictable delivery.

WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON

  • Lambda-first product on AWS Serverless: event-driven workflows, reliability, observability, security.
  • Integrations: acquiring and banking rails, external providers.
  • Optimization and improvements: cost/latency/stability, reducing technical debt, faster and safer releases.
  • Nice to have: Go (possible long-term direction for parts of the platform).

Tech Stack: Node.js (TypeScript), AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora DB, full-stack JS/TS.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE

  • 3+ years as a Lead (or equivalent ownership role with real accountability).
  • Strong full-stack capability: confident across backend and frontend.
  • Deep, production-grade AWS experience and a serverless mindset.
  • A builder mindset with daily AI usage: you rely on AI tools every day to simplify routine work, accelerate development, and deliver results faster (while keeping high engineering standards).
  • Ability to execute end-to-end fast: architecture → implementation → code reviews → release → monitoring → iteration.
  • Solid decision-making, high ownership, ability to untangle complex integrations, and a systematic approach to improving product quality.
  • English B2+ and higher (the team is English-speaking).

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Comprehensive compensation package
  • A competitive salary (depending on what you bring) + performance bonuses
  • Everything you need to succeed: with flexibility built in from flexible hours and hybrid work options to private health insurance and paid extra time off
  • Top-of-the-line Apple gear to fuel your work
  • Ownership of your work end-to-end, with the freedom to move fast and make a real impact
  • Celebrated wins, opportunities to grow, and a culture where voices are heard and chances to grow are ever-present.
