Who You Are:
You are an experienced full-stack developer talented in Node.js, Java, and JavaScript. You are a supporter and advocate for a completely serverless AWS stack (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3). You are a problem solver and are motivated to learn. You are able to help plan features from problem statements and loosely defined requirements. You are able to break large projects in manageable chunks to make them easier to work on and consume. You aren’t scared to be wrong and don’t always have to be right, and you have the ability to leave your ego at the door. You can set measurable goals for yourself and you take the team and personal responsibility seriously. There are opportunities to develop UI elements in React yourself, so a basic understanding of front-end technologies (Angular.js, ReactJS, CSS, and web components) is desirable.
What We Are Looking For:
- Must be fluent in written and spoken English
- Knowledge of Node.js and frameworks such as Express to build RESTful APIs returning JSON
- Understanding the nature of asynchronous programming, its quirks and workarounds, and experience writing or using JavaScript promises and/or async/await
- DevOps experience and mentality – You recognize the importance of automating all build, test, and deploy activities for an application and have experience with CI/CD tools such as CircleCI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions and provisioning tools such as Terraform or Cloudformation.
- Solid foundation in writing queries and updating NoSQL databases such as AWS DynamoDB
- Experience using the AWS Javascript API to interface with S3 and DynamoDB
- Good understanding of server-side and client-side javascript build tools and environments such as npm, yarn, Lerna, webpack, and babel
- Understanding of serverless tools (AWS Lambda, serverless.com and/or Claudia.js frameworks)
- Basic understanding of front-end technologies, such as HTML5, and CSS3 and React/AngularJS
- Creating database schemas that represent and support business processes
- Implementing automated testing platforms and unit tests
- Proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git
- Familiarity with object-oriented development with Java a plus – especially with using Java APIs for PDF manipulation such as iText, Apache PDFBox, or JPedal
