Your credentials are defined by your public contributions, such as research papers, tools you have developed, and presentations at conferences. Your interests and ethics are reflected in your write-ups, showcasing your dedication to learning from and contributing back to the community. To be considered a perfect technical fit, you should have a proven track record of writing efficient and scalable code, along with experience in designing and managing microservices and APIs. Proficiency in SQL and NoSQL databases is essential, as well as the ability to optimize performance, scalability, and implement security best practices. Experience with version control using Git, writing automated tests, and strong problem-solving skills across the development lifecycle are also key requirements. Excellent communication skills are necessary for effective cross-functional teamwork. Having proficiency in Node.js, JavaScript, and modern web frameworks is highly desirable, along with a strong understanding of web security principles and practices. Hands-on experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases, as well as solid problem-solving skills with knowledge of data structures and algorithms, are also advantageous. In this role, your everyday tasks will involve designing, developing, and maintaining scalable and secure backend systems using Node.js. You will be responsible for building and integrating RESTful APIs, working with both relational and non-relational databases to ensure efficient data handling, storage, and retrieval. Implementing security measures such as authentication, authorization, encryption, and other protocols will be crucial to safeguard applications from vulnerabilities and attacks. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to define requirements and implement technical solutions, debugging and resolving issues throughout the development lifecycle, and actively participating in code reviews to share knowledge and enhance team practices are also part of the role. Additionally, building and managing containerized applications using Docker, deploying and managing services in Kubernetes clusters, and demonstrating a solid understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) and design patterns are expected in this position.,
