viaPeople is seeking a driven Senior Full Stack Engineer whose core expertise lies in modern TypeScript-based front-end development (React) and building robust Node.js APIs that leverage AWS services. You’ll lead end-to-end feature development on our new cloud platform: designing UI components, authoring backend endpoints, and integrating with AWS resources. Familiarity with Java/Spring Boot is a welcome plus as our legacy system is build on this: we value your React/Node/AWS experience above all.
This is a high-impact role: you’ll architect and build new services, establish best practices, and help shape the future of our platform. You’ll collaborate directly with the founder and cross-functional teams, take ownership of technical decisions, and mentor others as we grow.

Optimize performance, security, and cost across your services
Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps
Deploy and monitor applications in AWS
Automate releases with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline)
