- Design DynamoDB data models around application access patterns, including keys, indexes, and efficient queries.
- Translate business requirements into technical designs and actionable development tasks.
- Review code for correctness, maintainability, security, and performance.
- Write meaningful unit tests covering business rules, boundary conditions, invalid inputs, and failure handling.
- Own troubleshooting, release readiness, production support, and technical documentation.
Team leadership and collaboration:
- Lead a small engineering team while remaining actively involved in coding.
- Delegate work according to skills, capacity, priorities, and dependencies.
- Mentor developers, provide constructive feedback, and resolve blockers.
- Collaborate with product, QA, infrastructure, client technical teams, and other engineering teams.
- Establish clear ownership and follow through on commitments.
Sprint planning and delivery:
- Facilitate backlog refinement, estimation, sprint planning, progress reviews, and retrospectives.
- Ensure requirements and acceptance criteria are sufficiently clear before committing to delivery.
- Track capacity, dependencies, blockers, scope changes, and delivery risks.
- Escalate risks early with their impact and practical resolution options.
- Coordinate testing, defect resolution, releases, and post-release follow-up.
Roadmap monitoring and client engagement:
- Translate roadmap priorities into engineering tasks and milestones with product and business stakeholders.
- Monitor progress against milestones and identify deviations early.
- Assess how requirement changes affect scope, effort, dependencies, and timelines.
- Participate in client discussions, demonstrations, requirements clarification, and status updates.
- Explain technical decisions clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
- Record decisions, action items, owners, and follow-up commitments.
Must have skills:
- 5 - 6 years of professional software development experience.
- Strong hands-on AngularJS experience, including controllers, services, directives, dependency injection, forms, and API integration.
- Strong Node.js experience, including asynchronous programming, API development, validation, and error handling.
- Strong practical TypeScript knowledge, including types, interfaces, generics, and handling external data safely.

- Unit testing experience using suitable frameworks such as Jasmine, Jest, Mocha, or Chai.
- Demonstrated team or workstream leadership, including delegation, mentoring, code reviews, and delivery coordination.
- Experience with sprint planning, estimation, dependency management, and milestone tracking.
- Effective verbal and written communication, including direct client or stakeholder interaction.
Good to have skills:
- CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code.
