Job
Description
As a Node.js Engineer, your primary responsibility will be designing, developing, and maintaining robust backend systems using Node.js. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless API integrations, database interactions, and optimize backend services to meet the needs of our users. A strong knowledge of backend technologies, API design, and scalable system architecture is crucial for success in this role. In this position, you will be involved in backend development, where you will design, develop, and maintain backend services and applications using Node.js as the primary technology. You will also be responsible for building and maintaining scalable RESTful APIs, integrating them with frontend applications, and third-party services. Additionally, you will work with relational databases such as SQL, PostgreSQL, and MySQL to design efficient data models, queries, and maintain data integrity. Furthermore, you will implement and manage event-driven systems using tools like Kafka for message queuing and real-time data processing. You will also optimize performance using caching techniques with tools like Redis and implement ElasticSearch to improve search functionality and ensure high-speed, accurate data retrieval. Collaboration is a key aspect of this role as you will work closely with frontend developers (React/TypeScript) and product teams to deliver high-quality features and services. You will continuously improve system performance, ensuring scalability, reliability, and fast response times. Writing clean, maintainable code following best practices, ensuring thorough testing using automated testing frameworks, and staying updated with emerging technologies and best practices to enhance the backend infrastructure are also essential responsibilities. To excel in this role, you must have proven experience with Node.js and backend development using Node.js frameworks (e.g., Express.js). Strong experience with SQL and relational databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL is required, along with a solid understanding of RESTful API design and integration. Familiarity with Kafka for building event-driven architectures, caching strategies, performance optimization using Redis, and version control using Git are also necessary skills. Additionally, having the ability to write scalable, maintainable, and efficient code with attention to detail, experience with Agile methodologies and tools (e.g., Jira, Trello), and excellent communication skills for effective collaboration in a team environment will be beneficial. Preferred qualifications include familiarity with React and TypeScript for full-stack development, experience with ElasticSearch for search indexing, knowledge of Docker and containerization, and familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS and Google Cloud.,
