We are seeking a mid-to-senior Back-End & AWS Full Stack Developer with a strong emphasis on back-end development and cloud infrastructure. This fully remote, full-time role is ideal for a highly technical, product-focused engineer who thrives on building reliable, scalable services — from idea to code, launch, and long-term maintenance.

The role offers autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to make a measurable impact across the full software lifecycle.

Schedule: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST (40 hours per week)

• Proven experience with GitHub collaboration and development best practices (branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews, CI/CD)
• Demonstrated ability to deliver product impact across the full software lifecycle (ideation → launch → iteration)
