• Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling.
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB.
• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces.
• Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't.
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS.

Skills and experience:

• 5-7 years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong SQL and relational data modeling skills.

Preferred qualifications:

• Kubernetes, including Helm charts.

What you get:

Starting pay: $225,000 - $270,000 a year, depending on experience and certifications.

• Health insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off.
• Vision insurance.
• Annual bonus.
• Cell phone reimbursement.
