Senior Backend Engineer familiar with Node JS Developer

You are a highly experienced Senior Backend Engineer with a strong foundation in Node.js and NoSQL databases, particularly MongoDB, as well as expertise in modern cloud-native microservices architecture. Your deep knowledge of Azure cloud infrastructure, DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and event-driven design will be instrumental in collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop secure, scalable, and future-ready digital banking solutions. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting, designing, and developing scalable and secure backend services using Node.js and MongoDB. You will build and maintain microservices-based applications deployed on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and translate complex business requirements and designs into technical implementations. Additionally, you will lead the development of RESTful APIs, integration using EAI/Messaging patterns, and implement event-driven architectures using Kafka. Your role will also involve integrating API gateways, designing scalable CDN-enabled and distributed caching systems, defining coding guidelines, code review practices, and development best practices. You will drive CI/CD automation, monitoring, and observability using modern DevOps tools and practices, ensuring cross-platform optimization and performance tuning for mobile-first solutions. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to build fully automated digital banking experiences, staying updated on emerging technology trends, mentoring junior developers, and contributing to team-level architectural discussions are also key aspects of this role. You should possess strong programming experience in Node.js with solid MongoDB or NoSQL expertise, in-depth understanding of Data Structures, Algorithms, and System Design, and proven experience with Azure Cloud. Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, DevOps tools, microservices, REST APIs, and secure backend systems is required. Working knowledge of service mesh, observability, distributed tracing, API Gateways, Kafka, and event-driven system design is essential. A background in designing shared-nothing architectures, CDN, and caching strategies, as well as the ability to operate in complex environments and interact with enterprise architecture teams, is also necessary. A degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or ECE is required, with preferred qualifications including experience in core banking or fintech domains, exposure to frontend technologies, a passion for clean code, automated testing, TDD/BDD practices, and a track record of thought leadership and mentoring junior team members.,
