  • Take full ownership of an existing project and drive it forward with minimal ramp-up time.
  • Lead design and development efforts for new features, systems integrations, and refactoring projects.

  • Promote a culture of continuous improvement, clean code, and ownership.
  • Conduct regular 1:1s and provide growth opportunities to the team.

Backend Development & Architecture:

  • Build and optimize RESTful APIs and GraphQL services.
  • Architect and work with monolithic and microservices architectures, with experience in decoupled and domain-driven design.
  • Implement secure authentication and authorization solutions (e.g., OAuth2, JWT).
  • Improve system performance, scalability, and observability.

Process & Collaboration:

  • Collaborate with the product team to translate requirements into technical solutions.
  • Own and maintain CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
  • Drive sprint planning, estimation, and retrospectives with agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban).
  • Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Skills:

  • 8+ years in backend development with strong experience in Node.js, Express, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
  • Proficient in database design and management (SQL and NoSQL).
  • Proven experience with monolithic to microservices transition, API design (REST & GraphQL), and secure authentication systems.
  • Strong understanding of clean code principles, SOLID, DRY, and test-driven development (TDD).
  • Experience with architectural patterns: Event-driven architecture, decoupled systems, and service-oriented design.
  • Proficiency with Git, CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.), Docker, and deployment workflows.
  • Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and infrastructure as code is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior experience leading and growing engineering teams.
  • Experience with performance tuning, observability (logs, metrics, tracing), and scalability.
  • Exposure to serverless architectures and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS).
  • Background in startup environments or greenfield projects is a plus.

Soft Skills:

  • Strong leadership and communication skills.
  • Collaborative mindset and proactive ownership.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
  • Passion for mentoring and helping others grow.
