We’re a seasoned, low-ego team with deep expertise in ed tech, AI, and product development. As we scale, we’re looking for a senior technical leader who can bridge infrastructure and application development—shaping cloud architecture, guiding secure and scalable deployments, and building high-quality features alongside our engineering team.
Responsibilities
We’re entering a critical phase:
- We’re growing product capabilities like user, license, and storage management.
- Our DevOps maturity needs to level up—from ad hoc pipelines to continuous delivery.
- We’re operating in a containerized AWS environment (ECS, Lambda, API Gateway) with hybrid IaC (CloudFormation + Terraform).
- We need clearer architectural documentation and a consistent approach to performance, security, and multi-environment deployments.
This role brings hands-on development strength plus the cloud systems thinking needed to guide and mentor others.
What You’ll Do
Cloud Architecture & Security
- Document and evolve our current AWS architecture (ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3).
- Improve isolation and IAM structure as we transition to multi-account setups.
- Partner with the team to define performance monitoring, resource scaling, and vulnerability detection using tools like AWS Inspector, GuardDuty, and CloudWatch.
DevOps Mentorship & CI/CD Maturity
- Collaborate with our DevOps engineer to improve:
- GitHub Actions workflows
- Terraform module structure and state management
- Artifact versioning and promotion across QA → Staging → Production
- Establish CI/CD best practices and guide the team toward safe, secure continuous delivery.
Feature Development
- Design and build scalable, secure features in React and Python (e.g., license limits, storage quotas, access management).
- Set high standards for code quality, performance, and reliability.
- Contribute to our definition of best practices for full-stack development and deployment.
Requirements
- 10+ years in full stack development, including:
- Front-end: React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS
- Back-end: Python (FastAPI or Flask), REST APIs
- Strong hands-on experience with:
- AWS ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB
- Terraform, GitHub Actions, Docker-based workflows
- CI/CD architecture and monitoring with tools like CloudWatch, Inspector, OpenSearch
- Passion for performance optimization, clean architecture, and secure delivery practices.
- Bonus: Experience with OpenAI API integration, LaunchDarkly, or microservices documentation practices.
What We Offer
- A unique opportunity to shape the technical foundation of a growing SaaS product.
- The autonomy to lead while being hands-on with impactful product features.
- A smart, supportive team that values collaboration and shared ownership.
- Basket of Benefits including covered meal & other perks.
