🤩 What you'll do You will lead a passionate team of web developers to design and build our new Toon Boom cloud platform—a mission-critical initiative for our company. You'll own the architecture, development, security, and 24/7 operations of a modern AWS-based, serverless TypeScript stack. Your technical leadership and vision will be essential for modernizing our existing web infrastructure (legacy PHP) and tackling complex challenges of a mission-critical SaaS platform.
In this role, you will: Lead and recruit a passionate web development team, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence. Architect and drive the build of a new cloud-native platform on AWS with a modern serverless TypeScript stack. Lead the modernization of our existing web applications (PHP) toward a modern, scalable microservices architecture. Ensure security, observability, and 24/7 platform reliability with expertise in OpenTelemetry, monitoring, and incident response. Champion the adoption of AI coding engines and AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining rigorous quality and security standards. Develop robust, scalable APIs and serverless backend applications with TypeScript while gradually modernizing our existing PHP infrastructure.
🎯 What you'll need You have 7+ years of web development experience, including 3+ years in technical leadership or team management. You have proven experience designing and deploying SaaS applications and APIs on AWS, with deep expertise in serverless TypeScript architecture (Lambda, API Gateway) and core services (RDS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, IAM). You have a strong command of SQL (Aurora, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB), including caching and query optimization. You master TypeScript/Node.js. You are experienced with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, CloudWatch, ELK) and maintain a strong culture of monitoring and alerting for mission-critical systems. You have advanced cybersecurity expertise: secrets management, compliance (SOC 2, GDPR), security auditing, and cloud security best practices. You are enthusiastic about adopting AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) to boost productivity without compromising quality or security. You embrace full ownership: 24/7 platform stability, incident management, and resilience of critical systems. You have excellent leadership and mentoring skills, and you can foster technical excellence and continuous learning in a fast-paced environment.
