About the role

RingCentral Events is an all‑in‑one solution for virtual, onsite, and hybrid events. As a Principal FullStack Developer, you will lead the design, development, and maintenance of the virtual event platform, building responsive TypeScript/React front‑end interfaces and scalable backend services.

• Use Terraform for infrastructure management, ensuring efficient deployment and scalability.

What you’ll bring

• Proven industry experience in building modern web applications using React & TypeScript.

• Experience in building cloud native (AWS) applications for large-scale, high-traffic environments, and managing infrastructure as code (Terraform).
• Familiarity with database management (AWS Aurora, PostgreSQL) and caching solutions (Redis).
• Experience with real-time communication technologies, especially WebSocket, WebRTC and RTMP.
• Strong problem-solving skills and proficiency with code versioning tools.
