A version 2 build is underway, and a move to AWS is under active evaluation as part of that. The current client-facing platform runs on PHP and Laravel.

You'll need to be hands-on and broad: someone who understands cloud, architecture, data, auth, front-end and APIs, and has built service-based platforms in AWS before.
