Job description
About the Position
We're seeking a Technical Leader for our platform team to shape highly scalable, distributed systems using Node.js, NestJS, React, MongoDB, Azure, and messaging platforms such as Azure Service Bus. You will guide the further evolution of one of our most successful products-a centralized hub for managing engagements and teams as the one common centerpiece. This platform consolidates real-world delivery experience into actionable workflows, enabling cross-team collaboration, real-time transparency, and insightful decision-making.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement distributed back-end services using Node.js, NestJS, and MongoDB within a microservices architecture.
- Deliver secure, production-ready APIs (REST and GraphQL) that meet SLAs for performance and availability.
- Leverage Azure platform services including Azure Service Bus, Event Hub, and Functions to build resilient systems.
- Participate in planning and refinement sessions - understand the 'why' behind the requirements and shape the 'how'.
- Apply GenAI tools effectively across the SDLC for documentation, testing, code generation, and analysis.
- Write automated tests and ensure strong test coverage using modern testing libraries and frameworks.
- Ensure proper instrumentation and monitoring is in place via tools like DataDog, and lead post-deployment support readiness.
- Collaborate closely with front-end engineers, product owners, and QA to ensure end-to-end quality and alignment.
- Contribute to pull requests and design reviews; mentor less experienced engineers by modeling best practices.
Requirements
- 10+ years of back-end development experience.
- Expertise in building distributed systems at scale using microservices and event-driven architectures.
- Experience with Node.js/NextJs and back-end integration patterns (API routes, server-side logic).
- Knowledge of MongoDB (Document DB) including schema design, indexing, and performance optimization.
- Deep familiarity with RESTful APIs and GraphQL, including security and query performance tuning.
- Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, especially Azure Service Bus and Event Hub.
- Experience with GenAI tools integrated into SDLC workflows (e.g., code assist, documentation, analysis).
- Strong understanding of non-functional requirements (NFRs) such as performance, reliability, and observability.
- Proficient with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub workflows, and Trunk-Based Development in a monorepo setup (e.g., Nx).
- Demonstrated ability to participate in agile ceremonies and technical discussions in scaled environments.
We Expect You to Have
