- Troubleshoot existing software, squash bugs, and learn how to optimize database performance.
- Participate in technical discussions and learn best practices for Infrastructure as Code.
- Collaborate with Data Scientists to support the integration of detection models.
Who you are:
- Experience in full-stack web development (commercial experience or a strong portfolio), with a focus on backend systems.
- Solid knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript.
- Solid understanding of backend development with Node.js.
- Understanding of SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB) database concepts.
- Familiarity with component-based frontend development (ideally React).
- Hands-on experience with AWS or GCP.
- A friendly, helpful personality, open to giving and receiving feedback constructively.
- Ambitious and passionate about your work, motivated to continually improve.
