Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.\nYou Are:\nYou are an experienced web developer who does well in a small, highly effective team where individual work has clear impact. You work independently, take ownership from concept through deployment, and make sound technical decisions with little supervision.\nYou are equally comfortable discussing user experience with business stakeholders and implementation details with engineers. You listen, write in clear language, and leave work that others can run and extend.\nThis is a full-time role.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing:\nDesign, develop, deploy, and maintain enterprise web applications and services.\nWork across the full technology stack, including front-end, back-end, database, and cloud components.\nDesign and implement solutions using the PANN technology stack and associated development frameworks.\nCollaborate with cybersecurity, engineering, product, and business teams to define and deliver high-value solutions.\nBuild intuitive and effective user experiences that simplify complex workflows.\nDesign and optimize relational and non-relational database solutions.\nDevelop AI-enabled capabilities that support automation, data analysis, content generation, and knowledge extraction.\nCreate integrations between business systems, knowledge repositories, and AI services.\nEvaluate emerging technologies and recommend practical solutions that improve scalability, reliability, and user productivity.\nSupport operational excellence through monitoring, maintenance, performance optimization, and continuous improvement.\nhe Impact You Will Have:\nAccelerate delivery of critical internal platforms and business capabilities.\nImprove employee productivity through intelligent automation and AI-driven workflows.\nEnable better decision-making through effective access to organizational knowledge and data.\nCreate scalable solutions that can be adopted across multiple business functions.\nReduce manual effort and operational overhead through automation and system integration.\nHelp shape the technical direction of a growing platform that supports strategic business initiatives.\nServe as a key technical contributor in a small team where individual impact is highly visible.\nWhat You’ll Need:\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nTypically 6 or more years developing enterprise web applications. Stronger evidence of full-stack delivery and production ownership can offset fewer years.\nStrong experience with the PANN technology stack (PostgreSQL, Angular, NestJS, Node.js) and modern web development frameworks.\nExperience designing and developing microservices architectures.\nExperience using Prisma for data modeling, database access, and schema migrations.\nStrong knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, REST APIs, and modern application architectures.\nExperience designing, developing, and optimizing relational and non-relational databases and administering PostgreSQL.\nExperience containerizing applications and services with Docker or Kubernetes, and deploying, configuring, and managing web servers, load balancers, and reverse proxies such as Nginx and Apache.\nExperience with cloud-based application development and deployment.\nExperience building and maintaining continuous integration, continuous delivery, and deployment pipelines.\nPractical experience with AI technologies, including large language models, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge extraction, and automation workflows.\nStrong understanding of software development lifecycle practices, testing methodologies, and secure coding principles.\nExperience integrating multiple systems through APIs and data services.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills.\nWho You Are:\nSelf-directed and comfortable working independently.\nAble to balance strategic thinking with hands-on implementation.\nCurious about emerging technologies and eager to apply them to real business problems.\nA strong problem solver who can work with incomplete information and still deliver practical outcomes.\nCustomer-focused and attentive to user experience (U/X).\nCollaborative and effective with people outside your own function.\nComfortable working in a small team where ownership and accountability are expected.\nResults-oriented and focused on delivering measurable business value.\nThe Team You’ll Be A Part Of:\nOur team develops platforms and capabilities that help scale cybersecurity, compliance, engineering, and business operations across the organization. We operate with a startup mindset, focusing on high-impact initiatives, rapid execution, and practical innovation.
