- Develop, maintain, and enhance backend services using C# and, where applicable, Node.js.
- Contribute to the modernization of the application data access layer, including development in C++ where required.
- Build and support cloud-native applications and services within AWS, leveraging technologies such as Lambda, ECS, SQS, EventBridge, CloudFront, ALB, and Aurora PostgreSQL.
- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and support automated deployment pipelines through GitLab CI/CD.
- Collaborate with architects, developers, QA teams, and business stakeholders to deliver migration milestones and platform enhancements.
- Contribute to application regression testing using Jest and Playwright where applicable.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 7+ years of professional full stack software development experience.
- Strong experience with Microsoft SQL Server, including T-SQL, stored procedures, triggers, SQL Agent, and query optimization.
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL and PL/pgSQL, including rewriting complex procedural logic.
- Hands-on experience with SQL Server to PostgreSQL migrations, including:
- AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
- AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
- Change Data Capture (CDC) and replication-based cutovers
- Data migration validation and reconciliation (row-level, aggregate, and business-rule validation)
- Strong backend development experience with C# and experience with Node.js.
- Experience working with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and DynamoDB.
- Strong experience with AWS services, including Aurora/RDS PostgreSQL, Lambda, ECS, SQS, CloudFront, ALB, and EventBridge.
- Experience with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building front-end applications using React.
