This developer will be working to expand our capabilities around high-performance backend batch, real-time and streaming APIs and data pipelines. We leverage a lot of cloud and we have a preference for AWS, so it is expected that the developer should know how to get around with fully serverless development and has knowledge of AWS service offerings for application development, e.g. EKS, Elastic BeanStalk, Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, SQS, SQS, S3, Neptune, etc.
We have data in the heart of everything we do, so this developer will be helping on further expanding our Mosaic Portal backend and pipelines, which is the main place where clients access and interact with our most important Data Product: Mosaic.
