This role requires deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, databases (SQL, Firebase/Firestore, DynamoDB), and API development. Knowledge of AWS, including Aurora, EventBridge, and other cloud services, is a strong plus. SST experience is also a plus.

While the role does not immediately require participation in an on-call schedule, as you gain experience in the role, joining the on-call rotation will become a part of the role and will be required.

RESPONSBILITIES:

  • Develop and maintain backend services and APIs with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability.

  • Design and implement data models and queries for SQL databases and NoSQL solutions like Firebase/Firestore and DynamoDB.

  • Build and maintain microservices using NestJS and Node.js. Familiarity with Fastify is a plus.

  • Write and execute unit and integration tests using tools like Jest, Vitest, and Supertest to ensure high code quality.

  • Integrate and deploy cloud services, focusing on AWS infrastructure components such as Aurora, EventBridge, and other serverless technologies.

  • SST experience is a plus for managing and deploying serverless applications.

  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, following best practices and leveraging TypeScript deeply.

  • Participate in code reviews, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

  • Collaborate closely with frontend developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to define and deliver new features.

  • Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve production issues as needed.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, including a deep understanding of language features and design patterns.

  • Extensive experience working with SQL databases and NoSQL solutions like Firebase/Firestore and DynamoDB.

  • Proven experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs.

  • Solid experience with NestJS or similar Node.js frameworks. Familiarity with Fastify is a plus.

  • Hands-on experience writing and executing unit tests and integration tests using Jest, Vitest, and Supertest.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating tests into deployment workflows.

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS (Aurora, EventBridge, Lambda, S3, etc.).

  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills.

BONUS POINTS:

  • Experience with data validation libraries, particularly Zod.

  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures and message brokers.

  • Hands-on experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

  • Knowledge of security best practices for API development and data handling.

  • SST experience is a plus for managing serverless applications.

  • Experience working in Agile development environments.

  • Previous experience with end-to-end (E2E) testing frameworks.
