JOB DESCRIPTION

Notes from the manager 

“This is an individual contributor role for an AWS full stack developer, refrain from sending candidates with DevOps only experience. 

For location, Minnesota could work since I’ve got colleagues there, but Columbus is definitely my first choice. I’d rather not look at candidates in other cities — we just haven’t had much success going that route.

And just to be clear, this is an individual contributor role — a senior AWSapplication developer. I really don’t want to see DevOps-heavy resumes. I need someone who’s hands-on with development and can help mentor the team.”
