Sr Software Engineer (Node.js/Typescript)

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with a lead engineer to design and develop high-performance, API-based backend services that meet service-level objectives (SLOs) and scale to support growing business needs.
• Own the health and uptime of business-critical systems, participating in on-call rotations to quickly resolve incidents and conducting postmortems to drive continuous improvement.
• Partner with product managers, engineering teams, and infrastructure teams to define technical requirements and design scalable, maintainable systems aligned with business goals and product roadmaps.
• Champion and implement CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and security practices throughout the development lifecycle.
• Apply architecture patterns and iterative approaches to modernize and improve legacy services.
• Ensure comprehensive documentation of API designs, system architectures, and operational procedures to enable internal teams and external customers to build and integrate with the APIs in a self-service manner.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in backend development, with a strong focus on designing, building, and operating large-scale and highly available systems, including microservices architectures, APIs, and event-driven systems.
• Experience in the Node.js ecosystem and frameworks including Express, NextJS, and other API frameworks.
• Familiarity and experience working with the React ecosystem.
• Hands-on experience with AWS and containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, including deploying, monitoring, and scaling applications in production.
• In-depth experience with RESTful APIs, with the ability to select the appropriate design pattern for different use cases and requirements.
• Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and MySQL, caching strategies, and messaging systems, ideally with hands-on experience implementing these at scale.
• Proven experience designing and implementing observability solutions (e.g., DataDog) to ensure system reliability, performance, and uptime in production.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions), automated testing, and integrating security throughout the development lifecycle.
• Familiarity with end-to-end testing frameworks such as Cypress or Playwright.
• Strong collaboration, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams and adapt to changing requirements.
• Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation, providing prompt incident resolution and conducting postmortems to improve system reliability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience transitioning legacy "monolith" retail tools into a modern, event-driven architecture.
