Ideal experience: • JavaScript / TypeScript • Node.js • AWS Lambda • Event-driven systems • Git workflows • Automated testing • Terraform Not to worry if you don't have all of this - the key experience we need is Node.js backend development.

If you would benefit from a reasonable adjustment in your interview process, please call or email one of our recruiters.
