Back-end Software Engineer Semi Senior

You join a 13-person engineering team leading a year-long platform migration. You migrate features from a TypeScript monolith (AdonisJS) to a service-oriented architecture on AWS, working in sprints alongside the team. This is an execution role: you design, build, and solve concrete problems while maintaining code quality. This role fits someone who wants hands-on ownership of backend systems and enjoys the challenge of modernizing production platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Migrate features from the monolithic platform to a service-oriented architecture on AWS.
• Design and build APIs and microservices using event-driven patterns (SNS, SQS, EventBridge).
• Deliver solutions sprint by sprint as the team prioritizes them.
• Participate in daily standups and weekly planning with the engineering team.
• Identify and resolve complex problems while maintaining code quality standards.
• Apply Domain Driven Design principles to build secure, reusable APIs.

• You have at least 2 years of backend development experience with TypeScript and Go.
• You have solid experience with AWS, microservices architectures, and event-driven systems (SNS, SQS, EventBridge).
• You design and build REST APIs securely, applying DDD principles, ideally with TypeScript frameworks like AdonisJS.
• You are comfortable with relational databases, unit testing, and test-driven development.
• You work well in agile environments (Scrum, Sprints) and communicate in functional English.

This is a full-time independent contractor role with a schedule of Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM UTC-3. You will work remotely and receive competitive compensation based on experience. The role offers the opportunity to work with a strong engineering culture and modernize a production platform.
