Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and lead the development of scalable backend solutions using NodeJS and NestJS, with a heavy emphasis on real-time processing, high-concurrency, and bulk data ingestion.
• Champion and implement event-driven and microservice architectures, utilizing technologies like RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Redis Streams for reliable asynchronous communication.
• Own the design and performance tuning of data pipelines that handle large volumes of real-time data, including aggregation, normalization, and storage in systems like MongoDB, Redis, or SQL/OLAP solutions.
• Guide architectural decisions related to service orchestration, message queues, state management, and data consistency across distributed systems.
• Conduct high-level code and system reviews, coach engineers, and lead architectural discussions with a long-term strategic mindset.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with DevOps, frontend, QA, and product teams to ensure end-to-end system resilience, observability, and rapid iteration via CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Act as a technical point of contact in conversations with clients and stakeholders, especially around scalability, data throughput, and real-time system health.
• Stay up-to-date on modern backend technologies, architectural patterns, and best practices. Bring innovations to the table that improve performance,reliability, and developer experience.

Requirements

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, including strong mastery of NodeJS and ideally NestJS. Proven experience with real-time systems, high-concurrency environments, or low latency backends — ideally processing thousands of events per second.
• Deep knowledge of event-driven architectures, with production use of RabbitMQ, Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar systems.
• Strong background in designing and optimizing microservices and distributed systems.
• Expertise in data handling with MongoDB, Redis, and optionally SQL for analytics or OLAP/BigQuery processing.
• Hands-on experience deploying and scaling services in Containerized environments with Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with observability stacks (e.G., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) and practices for monitoring distributed systems.
• Strong communication skills and fluency in English.
• Comfortable leading initiatives, mentoring peers, and working closely with clients and business stakeholders
