The posting

ApplyBoard simplifies the study abroad search, application, and acceptance process by connecting international students, recruitment partners, and educational institutions on one intuitive and personalized platform. ApplyBoard is a mission-driven, hyper-growth organization. It has been attracting dedicated individuals for more than eight years who are inspired every day to break down barriers to international education and take their careers to new heights at a company that will invest in their career growth. Our six core values are our compass in our mission to Educate the World and the foundation of our unique company culture. As an organization built on a foundation of diversity, it’s important that our team members are representative of the students from more than 150 countries that we support.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help us scale cloud-native applications that power our internal enterprise teams. This is a 6-month contract role, with a possibility to extend based on performance and business needs. You’ll join a collaborative Applications group that delivers automation, systems integration, and backend services on top of AWS—driving the next evolution of our platform.

What You’ll Be Doing Every Day

  • Partner with Product Managers through discovery, requirement gathering and shaping end-to-end solutions in an agile SDLC.
  • Architect and implement Node.js services / TypeScript—optimized for AWS runtimes such as Lambda, ECS, and containerized workloads.
  • Implementing automation for our customer experience department using Playwright to automated UI browser based tasks
  • Design and integrate REST and event-driven APIs, orchestrating data flows between internal and third-party systems (including higher-ed platforms and SaaS tools).
  • Improve reliability, performance, and observability across distributed services using AWS-native tooling (CloudWatch, X-Ray, EventBridge) and modern DevOps practices.
  • Own production support for critical services, driving root-cause analysis and preventive improvements.

What You Bring to the Table

  • 8+ years building backend services with Node.js (TypeScript/JavaScript), including experience leading project teams or initiatives.
  • Experience with AWS ecosystem (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/Fargate, DynamoDB/RDS, S3, Step Functions, IAM) and infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform).
  • Experience working with browser automation tools such as Selenium, Playwright, cypress
  • A track record of delivering scalable, resilient APIs and microservices with strong observability, security, and automated test coverage.
  • Familiarity with event-driven and message-based integrations (SNS/SQS, EventBridge) and data transformation pipelines.
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments with agile processes.
  • Strong communication skills—able to translate complex scenarios for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to document architectures, operational runbooks, and development workflows clearly.

Nice to Have

  • AI automation tooling including but not limited to: Cursor, Codex, MPC servers, agentic frameworks
  • Exposure to domain-driven design, serverless-first architectures, or event-sourcing patterns.
  • Familiarity with front-end stacks (React, Vue) for full-stack collaboration.
  • Certifications or hands-on experience with AWS security, compliance, or cost-optimization best practices.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
