- Experience with functions as a service (FaaS) architectures (serverless / Lambda)
- NoSql database experience on Dynamo (preferred), Mongo, or similar
- 5+ years of strong experience building and maintaining high complexity web apps that have gone to production and seen the fire of real world usage

We look forward to meeting you.
