Gigster is a global software-on-demand company that brings together top engineers, designers, and product leaders to help companies build cutting-edge digital products.

As a member of the Gigster Talent Network, you'll work with other elite professionals in a remote, async-friendly environment.

The Opportunity

We’re helping one of our long-standing enterprise clients—an innovation-driven player in the pharmaceutical services space—migrate and consolidate several legacy operational platforms into a modern cloud-native stack.

The MVP of the new system is live, key requirements are defined, and the team is now scaling to execute a full migration. You’ll join a small team of highly capable engineers and play a hands-on role in translating business logic from multiple environments into a unified platform on AWS.

What You’ll Do

• Migrate backend services from legacy low-code systems (Salesforce & Appsmith) into scalable Python/Golang microservices
• Implement infrastructure using Pulumi/Terraform on AWS
• Work closely with product managers and senior engineers in a fast-moving agile environment (2-week sprints)
• Ensure feature parity across legacy and new systems while helping identify and close edge case gaps
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and support deployment reliability (Bitbucket, Datadog)

Tech Stack

• Current/Legacy: Salesforce (Apex/JS), Appsmith
• Target Environment: Python, Golang, AWS (Lambdas, API Gateway, S3), Pulumi, Postgres, Bitbucket CI/CD, Datadog

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of backend development experience (ideally Python or Golang)
• Experience migrating or refactoring legacy systems
• Strong hands-on AWS skills and infrastructure-as-code familiarity (Pulumi/Terraform)
• Excellent async communication and comfort working remotely with autonomy
• Able to work 20+ hours/week aligned to PST or CST time zones

Nice to Have

• Experience with Salesforce or Appsmith migrations
• Background in regulated environments (e.g. healthcare, fintech
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools like Datadog

Why join Gigster

• Join a global talent network solving critical engineering challenges
• Work on high-impact delivery projects for innovative, growing businesses
• Flexible engagement model
• Fully remote and async-friendly culture
• Opportunity to extend into a high-profile AI/ML initiative planned for 2026
