Senior

Job description

Tech Stack: Node.js, React, AWS, Python

Experience: 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience

💼 About the Role

We’re on the hunt for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, building scalable systems, and getting things done right. You’ll be part of a lean, high-performing engineering team, working on projects that span across industries—from FinTech to AI-powered platforms.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll have autonomy, ownership, and the space to flex your full-stack skills, with a primary focus on Node.js and React in an AWS environment.

🛠 What You’ll Do

  • Architect, develop, and maintain high-quality, scalable applications

  • Own full-stack development using Node.js (backend) and React (frontend)

  • Build and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS (Lambda, EC2, S3, etc.)

  • Occasionally dip into Python-based systems where needed

  • Contribute to system design decisions and help shape the technical direction

  • Work closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers

  • Write clean, efficient, and well-tested code

  • Perform code reviews and mentor junior team members

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a software engineer

  • Deep experience with Node.js, React, and AWS

  • Solid working knowledge of Python (bonus if you’ve worked with data-heavy apps or automation)

  • Strong understanding of REST APIs, microservices, and serverless architecture

  • Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code is a plus (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)

  • A strong problem-solver who writes maintainable, production-grade code

  • Excellent communicator and collaborator

🌟 Why Join Us

  • Fully remote, flexible work setup

  • Projects that challenge and excite

  • Small team = big impact

  • International exposure with a tight-knit, senior-level team

  • Zero fluff, no bureaucracy—just good people doing great work
