• Participate actively in technical design discussions, contributing well-reasoned proposals and tradeoff analysis

• Debug and troubleshoot complex issues across the front-end and API layers — from UI rendering bugs to slow API responses

• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code and hold a high bar in code reviews

  • CloudFront for CDN and edge caching

  • Lambda@Edge or CloudFront Functions for serverless edge logic

  • S3 for static asset hosting

  • API Gateway + Lambda for serverless API services

• Good understanding of front-end performance: code splitting, lazy loading, caching strategies (SWR, React Query), and Core Web Vitals

• Experience debugging across the stack using browser devtools, network inspection, and log analysis

• Experience with testing: unit (Vitest/Jest), component (Testing Library), and E2E (Playwright/Cypress)

• Clear communicator — comfortable discussing technical decisions with teammates and stakeholders

Added bonus if you have

• Experience in the financial services, banking, or insurance industry

• Familiarity with monorepo tooling (Turborepo, Nx) and modern build systems (Vite, esbuild)

• Experience with event-driven architecture on AWS using EventBridge, SQS, or SNS
