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
Frontend Engineering
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
Backend: Node.js (Express, Serverless Framework)
APIs: REST, GraphQL

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
