Node JS Fullstack - Lead

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build responsive, performant UI components in Angular, and robust REST/GraphQL APIs and services in Node.js
• Architect full-stack features end to end, making sound trade-offs between front-end and back-end implementation
• Deploy and manage workloads on AWS (e.g., EC2, Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, CloudWatch), optimizing for cost, scalability, and reliability
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) to automate testing, builds, and deployments
• Own code quality through testing (unit, integration, e2e), code reviews, and monitoring/observability in production
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to scope, estimate, and deliver features
• Mentor junior and mid-level developers, and contribute to technical standards and architecture decisions
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, participating in on-call rotations as needed

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Angular (v10+), including RxJS, component architecture, state management, and performance tuning
• Strong Node.js experience building scalable APIs and services (Express, NestJS, or similar)
• Solid AWS skill set: core services (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS/DynamoDB), IAM, networking basics (VPC), and cost-aware architecture
• Hands-on CI/CD experience: building and maintaining pipelines, infrastructure as code (Terraform or CloudFormation), and automated deployment strategies
• Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript across the full stack
• Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB)
• Strong grasp of testing practices (Jest, Jasmine/Karma, Cypress or Playwright)
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes or ECS)
• Comfortable owning systems in production, including debugging, monitoring, and incident response

Good to Have

• Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions)
• Exposure to microservices and event-driven architecture (SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Kafka)
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation) and GitOps workflows
• Familiarity with observability tooling (Datadog, New Relic, Grafana/Prometheus)
• Exposure to security best practices (OWASP, secrets management, IAM least-privilege)
• Prior experience in a lead or architect-track role, or driving technical decisions across teams

Qualifications

• 8-10 years of professional software development experience, with at least 5+ years in full-stack roles spanning Angular and Node.js
• Demonstrated experience owning production AWS infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines
• Strong communication skills and a track record of mentoring other engineers
