Back-end Developer (Node.js)
Do you see the world as an infinite set of microservices? Are you obsessed with building scalable, high-performance systems where latency is measured in milliseconds? Do you envision a truly serverless future, where the only limit is our ambition? If so, read on—because this role is built for you.
Your Mission
As a Back-end Developer, you'll engineer cloud-native applications that power next-gen digital products. You'll design and build distributed systems, develop APIs, and optimize data flow—ensuring seamless integration between front-end applications, external services, and data intelligence layers. Our goal? A highly modular, scalable, and extendable cloud platform where updates are deployed in minutes, not days.
What You’ll Do
Architect & Develop: Build and maintain back-end services, APIs, and data pipelines using Node.js, Express.js, and the latest cloud technologies.
Scalability & Performance: Design distributed systems that scale dynamically and handle real-time workloads.
Cloud & DevOps: Deploy and optimize containerized applications with Docker, and manage infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Security-First Mindset: Implement best practices for application & data security, ensuring secure authentication, authorization, and data storage.
Optimize & Automate: Drive performance improvements, implement CI/CD pipelines, and automate infrastructure using Terraform.
Messaging & Event-Driven Systems: Work with Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar messaging platforms to build real-time, event-driven architectures.
Database Mastery: Utilize Redis, MongoDB, InfluxDB, or other modern databases to handle structured and unstructured data efficiently.
