Senior Software Engineer

viaPeople is seeking a driven Senior Full Stack Engineer whose core expertise lies in modern TypeScript-based front-end development (React) and building robust Node.js APIs that leverage AWS services. You’ll lead end-to-end feature development on our new cloud platform: designing UI components, authoring backend endpoints, and integrating with AWS resources. Familiarity with Java/Spring Boot is a welcome plus as our legacy system is build on this: we value your React/Node/AWS experience above all. 

This is a high-impact role: you’ll architect and build new services, establish best practices, and help shape the future of our platform. You’ll collaborate directly with the founder and cross-functional teams, take ownership of technical decisions, and mentor others as we grow. 

What You’ll Do

  • Build responsive, accessible UIs using React with TypeScript 
  • Architect scalable component libraries and design systems 
  • Implement front-end testing (Jest, React Testing Library) and CI workflows 

• Backend/API Development 

  • Design, build, and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs in Node.js (Express, Serverless) 
  • Integrate APIs with AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, S3, RDS/DynamoDB) 
  • Optimize performance, security, and cost across your services 

• Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps 

  • Deploy and monitor applications in AWS 
  • Automate releases with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline) 
  • Leverage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) 

• Collaboration & Ownership 

  • Partner with product, design, and QA to deliver high-quality features 
  • Lead code reviews, pair programming sessions, and design discussions 
  • Mentor junior engineers and evangelize best practices 

Tech Stack 

• Frontend: React (TypeScript), Redux/Context, CSS-in-JS or Tailwind

• Plus (Nice to Have): Java (Spring Boot) legacy system experience 

You Might Be a Fit If You… 

• Have 5+ years as a full stack developer with a strong emphasis on React/TypeScript and Node.js 

• Built and maintained production services on AWS, from Lambda functions to managed databases 

• Write clean, tested, maintainable code and enjoy automating deployment pipelines 

• Thrive in a fast-paced, remote team and take initiative to drive projects forward 

• Value collaborative engineering practices: agile ceremonies, code reviews, and shared ownership 

• Hold an AWS Certification (e.g., Solutions Architect, Developer) — or are eager to earn one 

Nice to Have 

• Familiarity with Java/Spring Boot (legacy platform support or migration) 

• Experience with containerization (Docker, ECS/EKS) 

• Background in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK) 

• Worked on migrating monoliths to microservices or serverless architectures 

Position Details
