• Design, implement, and own microservices and REST/GraphQL APIs in Node.js/TypeScript (NestJS preferred)
• Translate product requirements into technical designs; break down work, estimate, and deliver incrementally
• Model data and optimize queries in MongoDB; implement effective caching with Redis (TTL, eviction, hot‑key mitigation)
• Ship production‑ready code with unit/integration tests; participate in on‑call, incident response, and postmortems
• Containerize and deploy via Docker/Kubernetes; automate builds and releases with CI/CD (blue/green or canary)
• Instrument services for logs, metrics, and traces (p95/p99); continuously improve latency, reliability, and cost
• Review code, document designs, and mentor SE II/III engineers; contribute to shared standards and best practices

What you bring

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years building backend services in Node.js/TypeScript
• Strong API fundamentals: versioning, pagination, authN/Z (OAuth/OIDC), and secure coding (OWASP)
• Hands‑on with NestJS/Express/Fastify; familiarity with microservices patterns and event‑driven workflows
• MongoDB expertise (schema design, indexing, basic sharding concepts) and Redis caching patterns
• Cloud experience on GCP (preferred) or AWS; Docker; working knowledge of Kubernetes; CI/CD with GitHub Actions/Jenkins/GitLab
• Observability skills: Datadog/OpenTelemetry/Prometheus/Grafana; confident debugging in production
• Collaboration and communication skills; bias for clean, well‑tested, and well‑documented code

Nice to have

• Kafka or Pub/Sub; API Gateway/Ingress; feature flags; rate limiting and quotas
• Terraform/Helm; security tooling (SonarQube), dependency hygiene, secret management
• Performance profiling, load testing, and practical cost optimization
