Job Responsibilities
- Design an API, not only implement one.
- Reason about indexes, query plans, transactions, migrations on live tables.
- Handle vendor and third-party integrations, done well: authentication, retries, idempotency, webhooks, rate limits, sandbox-to-production rollout, and reconciliation when the other side fails mid-flow.
- Work directly with a vendor's technical team to get an integration over the line.
- Manage Queues, background jobs and scheduled work, including what happens when a job runs twice.
- Perform React with TypeScript.
- Execute Component design, state management, forms that hold up under real user behaviour.
- Build a clean screen without a pixel-perfect design handed to you using enough CSS and layout sense.
- Ensure Performance and correctness on the browser side: loading states, error states, the ugly edge cases.
- Write Tests you actually write.
- Maintain Git discipline, CI/CD, and enough DevOps grounding to be self-sufficient: containers, environment configuration, pipelines, deployments and rollbacks.
- Understand AWS fundamentals: how your service runs, scales and fails.
- Instrument what you build logs, metrics, alerts so problems surface on a dashboard rather than in a customer complaint.
- Read monitoring output and act on it: triaging an alert, finding the root cause, and closing the loop with a fix or a tuned threshold rather than muting it.
- Keep an eye on infrastructure cost.
- Know roughly what your service costs to run, spotting the query, log stream or API call pattern that is quietly expensive, and factoring that into design decisions.
- Understand the problem first-hand.
- Spend time with the product owner or the ops team that has the problem, and see how the work happens today rather than working from a requirements document alone.
- Design, build and ship end to end.
- Take it to production and keep it healthy.
- Deploy it, monitor it, and act on what the monitoring tells you.
- Watch for Errors, latency, failed jobs and data quality and ideally spot the issue before someone reports it.
- Be mindful of what it costs to run.
- Think about instance sizing, storage, query patterns, log volume and the cost of third-party API calls before you ship, and raise it early when something is likely to get expensive.
- Integrate cleanly with vendors and partners.
- Work well with vendor teams, reading their documentation carefully and handling their failure modes gracefully.
- Be accountable for what you commit to.
- Give estimates you believe in, flag slippage early, and keep the status visible.
- Leave it documented.
- Build securely by default.
