About Distro

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.

Description

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

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
