About The Role

We are seeking a Node.js Backend Developer to support the development of a microservices-based backend system. This role focuses on building APIs, connecting backend services, and improving system performance and reliability.

You will work closely with technical leadership, assisting in architecture design while executing backend implementation. We are looking for someone we can trust with backend systems and gradually take ownership over time. This role requires strong accountability for backend deliverables and the ability to take ownership of features from development through deployment.

Scope of Responsibility

This role will primarily focus on backend API development, service integration, and database implementation. You will work under technical guidance for architecture and system design, with opportunity to take on greater ownership over time, including database schema design, performance optimization, and deployment processes.

Tech Stack

MongoDB for flexible data storage
PostgreSQL for relational data and schema-driven systems
Express.js and Node.js for backend services and APIs
React for frontend applications
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure; integration with external APIs, including AI-powered services

Project & Deployment Experience (Required)

Applicants must have experience building and deploying real backend projects.

Deploying APIs or backend services (preferably on GCP, or equivalent platforms such as AWS, Vercel, Render, Railway, etc.)
Connecting applications to databases in a live environment
Managing environment variables and basic production configuration

Application Materials

GitHub profile or code repositories
Live project links (if available)
A brief explanation of your role and contributions

Applications without project examples will not be considered.

Core Responsibilities

Develop and maintain backend APIs using Node.js
Implement business logic and core backend features
Connect and manage communication between backend services
Work with both PostgreSQL and MongoDB depending on use case
Contribute to PostgreSQL schema design and data modeling, with increasing ownership over time
Integrate and manage external APIs, including AI-related services
Optimize API performance and system reliability
Implement logging, debugging, and backend security best practices (authentication, validation, data protection)
Write clean, maintainable, and well-structured code
Collaborate with frontend developers and other team members

Secondary Responsibilities (Support & Growth)

Support caching strategies (e.g., Redis)
Assist in logging, monitoring, and observability improvements
Support QA testing and validation of APIs
Assist in deployment processes and environment setup
Write and maintain API documentation
Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards
Write basic unit or integration tests to improve reliability

Required Qualifications

5+ years of backend development experience or equivalent project experience
Strong proficiency in Node.js
Experience with Express.js or NestJS
Solid understanding of REST APIs
Strong fundamentals in PostgreSQL, including schema design, relationships, and query optimization
Experience working with relational databases in production environments
Familiarity with Git and version control
Strong deployment experience across fullstack applications (frontend + backend), including managing production environments, configurations, and service orchestration
Experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Experience with multiple backend languages such as PHP or Go is a plus
Experience with microservices architecture
Familiarity with caching systems such as Redis
Working experience with Docker and containerization, including building images, managing containers, and running services in a development or production environment
Experience integrating external APIs

Development Environment

Work in a fast-paced development environment
Participate in feature development from planning to deployment
Collaborate closely with technical leadership and team members
Contribute to improving backend architecture and development processes

What We Are Looking For

Candidates who have completed and deployed real backend systems
Ability to explain architecture, implementation decisions, and tradeoffs clearly
Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
Someone who can grow into full backend ownership over time

Why Join Us

Opportunity to contribute to system design and backend architecture
Exposure to production systems, APIs, and scalable backend patterns
