The Role

What You’ll Own

• Architecture, end to end: system design, APIs, data models, security, scalability, observability, and cloud cost.
• Reliability at scale: uptime, latency, and performance for products serving large user bases.
• Security-critical design: safe handling of PHI and payment workflows, with compliance built in from the start.
• Cloud-native delivery: MERN applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure, using Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and secrets management.
• Key technical decisions: microservices vs. monolith, event-driven patterns, third-party integrations, and build-vs-buy.
• Production firefighting: diagnosing and fixing bottlenecks in performance, scalability, and availability.
• Engineering standards: reference architectures, reusable patterns, and clear guidelines the whole team can follow.
• Hands-on contribution: regular coding, design reviews, and code reviews.
• People growth: mentoring senior engineers and developing the next generation of technical leaders.
