Sr. Cloud Engineer- TypeScript Full Stack/AWS (Greenfield)

Our customer is building a modern cloud-native platform that connects physical devices with scalable SaaS applications. The platform enables real-time monitoring, analytics, remote management, and customer-facing experiences while supporting a growing portfolio of connected products.

This is an opportunity to join the engineering team early and have significant influence over architecture, engineering standards, and long-term technical direction. The position is remote, with preference given to candidates located near one of the organization’s engineering offices.

Engineering Culture...

The team embraces modern cloud-native development practices and emphasizes simplicity, automation, and maintainability.

Key characteristics include:

• Preference for managed and serverless cloud services whenever practical.
• Strong adherence to industry standards for authentication, APIs, observability, and security.
• Automated testing is expected for all production code.
• Incremental, low-risk deployment strategies with staged rollouts.
• Secure software development practices incorporated throughout the SDLC.
• AI-assisted development tools are integrated into day-to-day engineering workflows to improve productivity.
• Initial production support responsibilities occur primarily during business hours as the platform continues to mature.

Position Overview:

As the Senior Cloud Engineer, you will lead development of the customer-facing application layer of a multi-tenant SaaS platform. This includes dashboards, administrative portals, tenant management, authentication, branding capabilities, and frontend architecture.

This role will establish foundational patterns that support future customer implementations while collaborating closely with senior engineers responsible for backend platform and edge technologies.

You will have substantial ownership over architectural decisions within the application tier.

Required:

• 7+ years of experience developing production web applications.
• Strong full-stack development experience with modern frontend frameworks and backend APIs.
• Advanced proficiency with TypeScript.
• Experience designing and building multi-tenant SaaS applications.
• Hands-on AWS experience including but not limited to Cognito, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, and related AWS services.
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, identity management, and role-based security.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar tools.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes.
• Ability to communicate architectural decisions clearly through technical documentation and design proposals.
• Strong focus on usability for business applications supporting operational users.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent professional experience).
• Approximately 7–10 years of relevant industry experience.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop modern customer-facing web applications using React, Next.js, or comparable frontend technologies.
• Build and maintain strongly typed API integrations with backend cloud services.
• Design and implement secure authentication, authorization, and tenant management using modern identity standards such as OAuth2 and OpenID Connect.
• Develop scalable multi-tenant architecture supporting customer-specific branding, customization, and domain configuration.
• Build and maintain frontend deployment pipelines utilizing CDN technologies and modern cloud infrastructure.
• Implement monitoring and observability for application performance and client-side errors.
• Ensure frontend applications consume public APIs without relying on internal-only integrations.
• Create and maintain comprehensive automated testing including component, integration, and end-to-end testing.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and produce clear technical design documentation.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship across engineering teams as needed.
• Collaborate closely with senior software and cloud engineers to establish scalable engineering practices.
