Tech Environment TypeScript / Node.js React / AWS (serverless-first mindset) Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) PostgreSQL & DynamoDB CI/CD ownership AI-assisted development encouraged (Copilot, Claude etc.) Trunk-based development There is no separate DevOps team; engineers own infrastructure, delivery and production.
