We store static content on S3, serve it via Cloudfront
All CI/CD is handled by CircleCI
We store data in RDS/Aurora (MySQL)
We are building the platform in SOA ways

Where we need you:

Further splitting our database storage into databases (DynamoDB/MongoDB, PostgresSQL, Cassandra, etc.)
Focus on auto scalability, monitoring and automated cluster deployment solutions
Focus on improving the microservices infrastructure, better async approaches and queues for data processing

Front End:

We use HTML/CSS/Vanilla JS + sometimes still jQuery
Our framework of choice is VueJS

We are moving away from old-fashioned SSR to SPA
We want to improve our bundling strategy and static content optimizations

All our microservices are built using Python3 + Django

For more async processing we would like to use NodeJS for new microservices
Building more micro services using NodeJS/Python to offer better scalability for our internal processes
Improving our data analytics possibilities and building a custom solution
Opening our API to third parties and offering integrations to other CRMs
As we grow our microservices base, begin to move to GraphQL where it makes sense

You generally have an idea about all aforementioned

Have a general level of knowledge of devops procedures and infrastructural challenges on AWS
Understand the concepts of SQL vs No-SQL solutions, and understand SQL queries enough not to have issues to be writing queries and scripts on daily basis
