Collaborate with other squads, DevOps engineers, product owners, and stakeholders to deliver robust and secure backend solutions

Integrate with databases (SQL and NoSQL), message brokers, third-party services, and external APIs

Write clean, reusable, and testable code following best practices in backend development and architecture

Debug, troubleshoot, and optimize backend services for performance, scalability, and security

Contribute to documentation, including API usage, architectural decisions, and backend-specific guidelines

Ensure backend services are secure, efficient, and resilient

Participate in peer code reviews and uphold high standards for code quality and consistency across the backend team

Perform related duties as assigned

What you’ll bring: 

Working Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in mobile development, with a strong focus on building applications using Node.js

Proven experience in leading complex backend projects and mentoring developers

Strong hands-on experience with modern TypeScript Node.js development paradigms

Hands-on experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs

Strong understanding of backend architecture, scalability, microservices, and API security best practices

Experience with Git and collaborative workflows (e.g., GitHub/GitLab)

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes) is a plus
