  • Support lift-and-shift strategies while identifying opportunities for cloud-native improvements
  • Work with services such as EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, and others as applicable
  • Improve system scalability, observability, and resilience in a cloud environment

Performance & Data Optimization

  • Write and optimize complex SQL queries for high-volume datasets
  • Improve database performance, indexing, and query efficiency
  • Ensure data integrity across rights management workflows

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with product managers, legal teams, and business stakeholders to translate rights management requirements into technical solutions
  • Contribute to architecture discussions and technical decision-making
  • Participate in agile ceremonies, code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives

System Ownership & Modernization

  • Take ownership of an existing application and drive its evolution
  • Identify technical debt and implement scalable solutions
  • Contribute to long-term modernization strategy and engineering best practices

  • Advanced proficiency with React (modern JavaScript frameworks, hooks, component architecture)
  • Strong backend development experience with Python
  • Hands-on experience with AWS (including cloud migration or modernization efforts)
  • Strong experience with SQL and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle)
  • Experience contributing to end-to-end system upgrades or transformations
