Job Description

EXPERIENCE- 3-5 YEARS

We’re seeking a skilled Backend Engineer with strong expertise in Kafka/Redis/Postgres Sharding. To build scalable, event-driven systems on Node.js and Express. You’ll design sharded/partitioned PostgreSQL architectures, implement Kafka pipelines, and manage background jobs using Redis and BullMQ.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design scalable PostgreSQL schemas with partitioning/sharding (range/hash/list), ensuring migration and rebalancing safety.
  • Build Kafka producers/consumers and manage schema evolution and idempotent message handling.
  • Create and maintain BullMQ queues/workers for jobs, retries, and DLQs.
  • Optimize reliability, performance, and observability (metrics/tracing/logs).
  • Lead development verticals and come up with database design

REQUIREMENTS

  • 3+ years with Node.js and Express in production.
  • Strong foundation in database and system design — schema design, indexing, normalization, and consistency models.
  • Hands-on with PostgreSQL sharding/partitioning and online data migration.
  • Experience designing Kafka topics and consumers with idempotency and replay safety.
  • Proficiency with Redis/BullMQ (rate limits, retries, concurrency, DLQs).
  • Solid TypeScript/JavaScript and testing skills.
  • Experience with monitoring, profiling, and tuning (p95 latency, connection pools).

EDUCATION

  • Bachelor's in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent experience.

Monday-Friday
Work from office only.
