Why Join Now?

This is a rare opportunity to:

  • Model data systems using Postgres and DynamoDB, choosing the right tools and schemas for the task.

  • Optimize backend performance through query tuning, caching strategies, and efficient pagination.

  • Ingest and normalize policy and financial data from external sources using both batch and streaming data pipelines.

  • Integrate AI/ML services via AWS Bedrock (LLMs, embeddings, retrieval systems, guardrails).

  • Implement observability best practices: structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, alerting.

  • Uphold security and compliance: authentication, authorization, IAM roles, secret management, input validation.

  • Obsessed with performance: You reduce latency, optimize SQL queries, and minimize cold starts.

  • Security-conscious: You design systems with clear boundaries, minimal blast radius, and strong safeguards.

  • Comfortable in startup environments you move fast, adapt quickly, and thrive in ambiguity.
