• Write clean, testable, and reliable code across the stack.
• Work with databases (Postgres, SQL, MongoDB, etc.) to manage and optimize data flows.
• Deploy and monitor applications in AWS environments including ECS/EKS/Lambda, S3, RDS/Redshift.
• Ensure code quality and reliability through testing, code reviews, and CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.
• Collaborate with product and design teams to deliver customer-facing functionality.
• Continuously improve performance, scalability, and developer experience.

Who You Are

• 4+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong coding skills in Python (backend) and React (frontend).
• Familiarity with AWS services and CI/CD practices (GitHub Actions is a plus).
• Solid understanding of databases (relational and non-relational).
• Interest in financial technology, data integrations, or personal finance concepts.
• Exposure to open-banking APIs (e.g., Plaid) or AI/LLM systems is a nice-to-have.
