Node.js Developer

Job Title: Senior Node.js Developer

Experience: 6+ Years
Locations: Bengaluru, Noida, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Mohali, Panchkula, Chennai (Onsite / Hybrid) — India

About the Role

We are looking for a seasoned Node.js Developer to architect, develop, and optimize backend systems with a focus on performance, scalability, and maintainability. In this role, you will own core backend services, design distributed architectures, and build microservices that support high-throughput applications. You will work closely with cross-functional teams and play a crucial part in shaping how our systems scale and perform.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain backend services using Node.js and modern JavaScript (ES6+).
• Develop and expose RESTful APIs, interfacing with internal and external systems.
• Write modular, efficient, and reusable server-side code that is easy to maintain.
• Handle schema design, indexing, query optimization, and performance tuning for MySQL, MongoDB, and Oracle databases.
• Architect microservices and distributed systems, applying High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) principles.
• Apply event-driven architecture patterns and use asynchronous programming to build non-blocking services.
• Work with message brokers such as Kafka or RabbitMQ to handle events and communication across services.
• Implement secure authentication and authorization, using JWT, OAuth2, and other security best practices.
• Debug, monitor, and optimize complex backend workflows under high-load scenarios.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to implement CI/CD, containerization, and deployment strategies.
• Write rigorous unit, integration, and performance tests; maintain robust logging and error-handling.
• Document APIs, service designs, and architectural decisions clearly for team consumption.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• In-depth experience with Node.js and modern JavaScript (ES6+).
• Proven track record with MySQL, MongoDB, and Oracle — schema design, performance tuning, and data consistency.
• Strong experience designing and building RESTful APIs.
• Hands-on expertise with microservices architecture and distributed systems.
• Deep understanding of event-driven design, asynchronous programming, and non-blocking I/O.
• Experience working with message brokers: Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.
• Proficiency in authentication and security: JWT, OAuth2, encryption, and input validation.
• Excellent debugging, performance optimization, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience using Git for version control, and working in collaborative branching workflows.
• Understanding of scalable system design (LLD, HLD), fault tolerance, and reliability.

Preferred (Nice-to-Have)

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or other container orchestration tools.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines to deploy backend services.
• Knowledge of GraphQL and modern API design patterns.
• Prior experience working in Agile / DevOps environments.

Why This Role Is Exciting

• You will build high-performance, scalable backend services that power mission-critical systems.
• Opportunity to design and work with modern distributed architectures and microservices.
• Collaborate with a truly cross-functional team — product managers, DevOps, front-end developers.
• Exposure to real-time event-driven systems, message brokers, and complex cloud-native deployments.
• A high-autonomy role where your design decisions will have a direct impact on system architecture and performance.
