Job summary

The role emphasizes hands-on coding in Node.js/TypeScript, building resilient distributed systems, and mentoring teammates in best practices. Expect both backend work and occasional frontend touches, with Kubernetes deployments and scalable data schemas.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Ownership of major features or subsystems in production.
• Deep expertise in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Strong system design skills for resilient integrations.
• Experience designing or operating a public API or SDK.
• Hands-on PostgreSQL experience with schema design and query optimization.
• Experience with Kafka and Redis in event-driven architectures.
• Comfort operating Kubernetes-heavy deployments.
• Experience mentoring engineers and improving code quality.
• Ability to work in high-ambiguity environments.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and implementation of major integrations and subsystems, from initial partner evaluation through production rollout and ongoing operation.
• Build integrations with third-party data providers (KYB, KYC/IDV, AML, fraud, banking, identity) and abstract them behind clean, versioned internal contracts.
• Design, evolve, and operate Worth's public REST APIs and SDKs, with strong attention to versioning, backward compatibility, authentication, rate limiting, and developer experience.
• Break down ambiguous partner specs, customer integration requirements, and vendor edge cases into clear technical designs with well-understood tradeoffs.
• Write high-quality production code across backend and (where needed) frontend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js, and React.js.
• Design and evolve PostgreSQL schemas that capture vendor responses, normalization layers, and crosswalking metadata, with strong attention to indexing, performance, and data integrity.
• Build event-driven workflows with Kafka and Redis that orchestrate enrichment, retries, dead-lettering, and backpressure across slow or flaky upstream APIs.
• Optimize slow queries and resolve systemic performance bottlenecks in high-throughput integration pipelines.
• Deploy, monitor, and debug containerized integration services in Kubernetes, including the alerting and runbooks that catch vendor degradations before customers do.
• Lead pragmatic refactors of legacy or accreted integration code into modular, testable, swappable adapters.
• Handle production incidents methodically (vendor outages, schema changes, auth rotations, quota exhaustion) and harden the system to reduce recurrence.
• Lead by example in code reviews, coaching others on integration patterns, resilience, testing strategy, and API design.
• Communicate complex tradeoffs across engineering, product, partnerships, and customer-facing teams.
