Software Engineer III - Node.js/TypeScript

Description :

Responsibilities :

- Design and implement backend services and REST/GraphQL APIs in Node.js/TypeScript (NestJS preferred).

- Own features end-to-end : design, coding, tests, code reviews, docs, and production rollout.

- Model data and optimise queries in MongoDB; use Redis for caching and throughput.

- Containerise and deploy via Docker/Kubernetes; automate with CI/CD.

- Monitor and troubleshoot using logs, metrics, and traces; improve latency and reliability.

- Collaborate with Product/Engineering to break down work, estimate, and deliver on time.

- Participate in on-call rotations and post-incident reviews; contribute to runbooks.

Requirements :

- 5-8 years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years building backend services in Node.js/TypeScript.

- Hands-on with NestJS/Express/Fastify, and strong API fundamentals (versioning, pagination, idempotency, auth).

- Practical experience with MongoDB (schema design, indexes) and Redis (caching patterns, TTL/evictions).

- Cloud experience on GCP (preferred) or AWS; Docker; basic Kubernetes; CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins, etc).

- Testing skills with Jest/Playwright/Cypress; solid debugging in production.

- Working knowledge of observability (logs/metrics/traces) and basic SLO concepts.

- Good communication and collaboration; bias for clean, secure, well-documented code.

Nice to have :

- Kafka or Pub/Sub; feature flags and canary/bluegreen deployments.

- Performance profiling, load testing, and cost-aware design.
