Senior Software Developer (15-months)

CODE IS YOURfavouriteLANGUAGE.

The Opportunity

Youre a senior engineer who loves shipping real systems the kind that move data reliably scale cleanly and stay supportable long after launch. Were looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to help deliver a key initiative: a data migration and replication pipeline as the first focus followed by feature development on our serverless platform.

In the first phase youll help design and build a pipeline that enables near real-time replication from SQL Server to S3 transformation and cataloging with AWS Glue and querying/validation with Amazon Athena. Once that foundation is operating smoothly youll pivot into building product features using our modern web and serverless stack.

This is a great opportunity to work on meaningful problems with a team that values strong engineering practices pragmatic decisions and continuous improvement backed by excellent benefits.

* This role is a 12-15 month opportunity with the possibility of extension. *

How Youll Make an Impact

Reporting to the Agile Team Lead youll work on web applications with a strong focus on serverless. Your first priority will be data migration and replication then youll transition into feature delivery.

• Data migration (initial focus):
  • Design and implement near real-time replication from SQL Server to S3 using AWS DMS (CDC/replication strategy resilience recoverability).
  • Build and maintain S3 data layouts for raw and transformed datasets.
  • Create AWS Glue ETL jobs and a reliable cataloging approach (Glue Data Catalog schema evolution strategies).
  • Enable Athena querying for validation and analytics including performance/cost-aware patterns.
  • Implement data quality checks and reconciliation (counts totals sampling anomaly detection) to build trust in the pipeline.
  • Add observability: logging metrics alerting dashboards and runbooks so the pipeline is supportable.
• Platform feature development (next phase):
  • Build and enhance full-stack features using React/TypeScript and Node backed by AWS serverless services.
  • Help guide higher-level architecture and design decisions across teams.
  • Mentor and share expertise with developers in the team and department.
  • Research and resolve problems; infrastructure support and business users when needed.
  • Promote a positive security culture through secure design and implementation practices.
  • Follow modern architecture guidelines (separation of concerns single responsibility least knowledge).
  • Ensure all application changes are developed tested and implemented in a well-controlled environment.
  • Follow a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery workflow to enable frequent reliable production deployments.
  • Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation backed by automated monitoring and an incident management platform.

What You Bring to the Table

• University degree or technical diploma in a related field (IT/Computer Science or equivalent experience).
• 5 years of progressive web development experience including architecture and delivery of highly available applications.
• Strong understanding of authentication/authorization and secure development practices.
• Experience with data security at rest and in transit database modeling and transaction management.
• Significant experience with most of the following:
  • React (or another front-end framework)
  • and modern JavaScript
  • TypeScript
  • Python
  • Full web stack fundamentals (HTTP cookies caching browser rendering)
  • Developing data-backed applications using REST/GraphQL and a mix of NoSQL RDBMS technologies
  • AWS (CDK Lambda Step Functions DynamoDB RDS)
  • Microservice and serverless architectures
  • CI/CD pipelines and modern Git workflows (Azure DevOps GitHub GitHub Actions)
• And for this role specifically you have experience or strong familiarity with:
  • Data migration / replication concepts (CDC incremental loads backfills reconciliation)
  • AWS data tooling such as AWS DMS S3 Glue Athena (or equivalent tools with the ability to ramp quickly)
• Youll get bonus points if you have:
  • Experience developing using the Event Driven Architecture design pattern
  • Used AI assisted coding tools such as GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT codex
  • Experience working with Stripe
  • Open-source contributions
  • Experience with containers (Docker Kubernetes)
