Software Engineer - Node.js Framework

As a highly skilled Software Engineer (Node.js) joining the dynamic engineering team, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining robust server-side applications with a focus on scalability, performance, and reliability. Your deep expertise in event-driven architecture, asynchronous programming, and Express.js will be leveraged to deliver high-quality solutions. You will collaborate closely with frontend developers, DevOps engineers, QA teams, and product managers to ensure seamless end-to-end system development and implementation. **Key Responsibilities:** - Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable, high-performance server-side applications using Node.js. - Implement RESTful and GraphQL APIs to support frontend and mobile applications. - Apply expertise in event-driven architecture and asynchronous programming to optimize system performance. - Work with Express.js and related frameworks to build secure and efficient backend services. - Integrate backend systems with databases (SQL/NoSQL), third-party services, and internal microservices. - Collaborate with frontend developers to define API contracts and ensure seamless integration. - Partner with DevOps to build CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud-native solutions (AWS/Azure/GCP). - Collaborate with QA teams to ensure high test coverage, implement automated testing, and resolve defects proactively. - Write clean, modular, and well-documented code while adhering to coding best practices. - Troubleshoot and debug production issues, ensuring system stability and reliability. - Stay updated with emerging technologies and propose improvements to architecture, tooling, and workflows. **Required Skills & Qualifications:** - Strong hands-on experience in Node.js, JavaScript (ES6+), and Express.js. - Deep understanding of asynchronous programming, event-driven design, and concurrency patterns. - Solid experience with databases SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis). - Experience in building and consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs. - Familiarity with microservices architecture and distributed systems. - Strong understanding of version control systems (Git/GitHub/GitLab). - Working knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes preferred). - Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and serverless technologies. - Strong debugging, performance tuning, and optimization skills. - Good understanding of unit testing, integration testing, and test automation frameworks (Mocha, Jest, Chai, etc.). - Experience with TypeScript for Node.js development. - Exposure to message queues and streaming platforms (Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS, etc.). - Knowledge of security best practices (OAuth2.0, JWT, data encryption). - Familiarity with DevOps tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Helm). - Experience in working on AI/ML-driven platforms or SaaS applications. **Soft Skills:** - Strong communication and collaboration skills for working across cross-functional teams. - Ability to own deliverables end-to-end with high accountability. - A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous learning and innovation.,
