Job Description
Senior Backend Engineer, TypeScript, AWS Serverless
HumanIT Digital Consulting
• You'll be working on the backend of an Amsterdam-based trading platform, contributing directly to system architecture design, technical decision-making, and the evolution of a serverless AWS-based infrastructure • The environment is dynamic and intentionally ambiguous — the right candidate will bring structure and technical clarity, not wait for it.
Job Requirements
- Senior or lead-level experience in TypeScript backend development, with production-grade delivery in complex environments
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS Serverless architecture, specifically AWS Lambda and AWS CDK
- Experience with DynamoDB or comparable NoSQL database solutions
- Ability to design and discuss system architecture at a high level — not just implement, but shape and own technical direction
- Proven capacity to evaluate technical trade-offs and propose well-reasoned alternatives
- Confidence to challenge assumptions constructively and drive better outcomes through technical debate
- Ability to work autonomously in ambiguous environments where requirements evolve and clarity needs to be created
- Familiarity with TypeSpec or similar API specification tooling
- English B2 or above — required for collaboration with the Amsterdam-based client team
- Based in Portugal, available to work fully remotely
