Job description

Node.js Developer – 2 month initial contract (Remote, UK based)

We are recruiting a Node.js Developer for a 2‑month initial contract. The role will build and harden Node.js microservices running on Azure Container Apps, orchestrating asynchronous, file‑based and Delta‑linked workflows with strong reliability, observability, and security. The compensation is £630/day inside IR35.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement Node.js/TypeScript services (Express/lightweight HTTP) for async job orchestration.
• Implement FIFO/round‑robin workers, leases/heartbeats, retries/backoff, and idempotency keys.
• Integrate with Azure SQL (mssql), ADLS Gen2, Storage Queues/Service Bus, and ADF triggers.
• Enable real‑time notifications (SignalR/WebSockets).
• Contribute to CI/CD (GitHub Actions) and containerisation best practices.
• Operate securely inside private‑network Azure environments (Managed Identity, RBAC, Private Endpoints).
• Enforce config‑driven processing (JSON configs) with robust error handling, telemetry, and full traceability.

Key Skills and Experience

• Strong Node.js/TypeScript experience in production microservices (HTTP + background workers).
• Understanding of Azure Container Apps, Storage (Blobs/Queues), and Managed Identity integration.
• SQL proficiency (Azure SQL), handling transactional updates and retries.
• Solid reliability engineering skills – idempotency, timeouts, circuit breakers, and retry strategies.
• Experience with Angular/SPA integration (SignalR), file validation (Excel/CSV), or SFTP connectors.
• Familiarity with private endpoint architectures and security‑first deployments.
