Youll help build and scale our backend and React-based frontend working closely with the founders and early team. While our system is not strictly microservice-oriented experience in microservice environments will help inform how you approach API design service boundaries scalability and long-term system evolution.
Experience with data engineering toolssuch as AWS Glue Apache Airflow Apache Kafka or similar systemsis beneficial. This is not a data engineering role but exposure to ELT concepts asynchronous workflows or data-intensive systems is a plus as the platform evolves.
