Job Description
REST/JSON
APIs (often using serverless patterns such as Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda) and partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality user experiences and services. Senior Developers are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy and ownership across the full SDLC, contribute to architecture and technical decisions, mentor less- Senior engineers, and actively improve delivery, reliability, and operational excellence. They apply strong engineering practices including automated testing, CI/CD-driven delivery, security best practices (authentication/authorization and least-privilege access), and observability (logging, metrics, monitoring) to ensure systems are production-ready and maintainable. Top 3 Hiring Priorities 1.React front-end engineering:
deep experience building modern, responsive web applications with React and TypeScript/JavaScript, including reusable component patterns, performance/accessibility considerations, and clean UI architecture. 2. Node.js services + AWS serverless delivery: proven ability to build and integrateREST/JSON
APIs using Node.js (TypeScript/JavaScript) and deploy/operate them on AWS (commonly using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda; familiarity with workflow and event-driven patterns such as Step Functions/EventBridge is a plus). 3.Production readiness and Senior ownership:
strong SDLC execution (unit/integration testing, CI/CD), secure engineering practices (authn/authz and least-privilege access), CloudWatch-oriented observability, and a track record of collaborating effectively and improving engineering practices (quality, reliability, delivery). Core Responsibilities- Design, implement, test, and maintain production grade full-stack software (React UI + Node.js services) aligned with business and technical requirements.
- Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including analysis, design, estimation, development, automated testing, CI/CD-driven deployment, and production support.
- Actively participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision making, providing clear rationale and trade off analysis.
- Build and maintain reliable, secure, and performant applications and services on AWS, including
REST/JSON API
integrations (often using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda) and secure access patterns.- Implement operability and observability practices (logging, metrics, monitoring/alerting) and use tools such as Amazon CloudWatch to troubleshoot issues across development, test, and production environments.
- Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, DevOps, and other engineers to deliver complete solutions.
- Mentor junior and mid level developers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, including automation, CI/CD, testing, and operational maturity. Technical Profile - Required Strengths Software Engineering Expertise
- Full-stack expertise in Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), and React
- Demonstrated ability to design clean, maintainable, well tested codebases, including strong familiarity with automated testing (unit/integration) and ownership of component level test strategy for the systems they build and support.
- Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including: o Data structures and algorithms o API design and integration o Modular and layered architectures o Performance and scalability considerations Application Breadth
- Strong preference for full stack capability, including: o Backend services (APIs, services, integrations, data access) o Front end frameworks (React preferred; Angular or similar)
- Alternatively, strong depth in either backend or frontend, combined with solid working knowledge of the adjacent layer to support end-to-end delivery. DevOps & Delivery Practices
- Strong experience with modern DevOps practices, including: o CI/CD pipelines o Infrastructure as Code (IaC) o Automated testing and deployment o Observability, logging, and monitoring (e.g., Amazon CloudWatch)
- Familiarity with tools and platforms such as: o Git, CI/CD platforms (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) o Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- A mindset focused on operability, reliability, and automation, not just code delivery. Cloud Platform Experience
- Strong experience in at least one major cloud platform: o AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP
- Experience designing, deploying, and operating applications in cloud environments, including: o Networking, security, and identity concepts o Managed services and patterns (e.g., serverless with API Gateway/Lambda, compute, storage, databases) o Cost awareness and basic optimization considerations
- Familiarity with additional clouds is a plus, but depth in one platform is preferred over shallow exposure to many AI Skills & Tool Usage
- Demonstrated experience using AI assisted development tools to improve productivity, quality, and learning (e.g., code generation, refactoring, testing, documentation).
- Basic familiarity with AI enabled application patterns, such as: o Integrating hosted AI services or APIs o Using AI for data processing, search, or automation use cases
- Ability to evaluate AI tools pragmatically, understanding benefits, limitations, and responsible use within enterprise and client contexts.
- Willingness to continuously upskill as AI tooling and platforms evolve Professional Expectations
- Owns complex and/or ambiguous features end to end, drives technical decisions within scope, and mentors others through that ambiguity.
- Communicates clearly with both technical and non technical stakeholders.
- Comfortable working across multiple projects or domains as GE NA demand shifts.
- Balances delivery speed with code quality, stability, and long term maintainability.
- Contributes positively to team culture and knowledge sharing. Experience & Education
- Typically 7+ years of professional software development experience (or equivalent demonstrated capability).
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred, or equivalent practical experience.
- Relevant technical certifications (cloud, DevOps, etc.
- Medical, Dental, and Vision
