Background
Distro was built to take that work off their plate. Our AI handles the screening, scoring, and logistics so your team can do what only humans can: build relationships, evaluate culture fit, and make decisions that matter.
Responsibilities
You will design single-page applications over a Node.js API tier, evaluate technologies and build proof-of-concepts, write technical specifications, and communicate them credibly to engineers and executives alike. Live problems right now: mobile performance, per-tenant branding without redeployment, accessibility, and making a distributed system observable enough to diagnose rather than guess.
Qualifications and Experience
You will need:
- 10+ years with TypeScript and JavaScript
- Expert-level Angular 2+ single-page applications
- Expert-level Node.js and Express services, APIs, microservices
- Docker and AKS or equivalent
- Architectural judgment on multi-tenant SaaS — security, performance, scale
- The ability to hold a technical position with executives through credibility, not authority
