You will be responsible for leading the design and development of robust, scalable backend systems using Node.js and TypeScript. Your role will involve architecting and integrating RESTful and GraphQL APIs, developing cloud-native applications leveraging AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, S3, and DynamoDB. You will guide and mentor junior team members to align with project goals and best practices, troubleshoot, debug, and optimize performance for backend components, and ensure adherence to software engineering standards and best practices. Additionally, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and deliver business-critical solutions. To be successful in this role, you must have at least 6 years of backend development experience with a proven track record in leadership. Deep expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, and the AWS ecosystem is essential, along with strong API development experience in both REST and GraphQL. Experience with cloud-native architectures and services is required, as well as excellent communication and team mentoring skills. You should also demonstrate a proven ability to work independently and solve complex problems effectively. It would be advantageous to have prior experience working in fast-paced startup environments and exposure to DevOps practices or serverless architecture patterns.,
