About the role

We are building a microservices-based backend platform (domain-driven services) that powers core business workflows such as user management, orders, inventory, payments, and supporting services. You will lead backend engineering delivery, set standards, and ship production-grade services with strong quality practices.

Responsibilities

• Own backend architecture and delivery using Node.js + TypeScript + NestJS
• Design and implement REST APIs and maintain Swagger / OpenAPI documentation
• Build and maintain microservices (service boundaries, integration patterns, error handling, retries)
• Own data model design and performance using PostgreSQL + Prisma (migrations, indexing, query optimization)
• Implement caching / session / queue patterns using Redis
• Integrate centralized authentication / authorization using Keycloak (OIDC / OAuth2 / JWT)
• Establish engineering standards : PR reviews, CI-ready code, testing strategy, release discipline
• Collaborate with product / PM to convert requirements into executable technical tasks and acceptance criteria
• Improve observability : structured logging, metrics, dashboards (Grafana)

Required qualifications

• 2+ years backend experience; strong production experience in Node.js + TypeScript
• 2+ years with NestJS (or comparable enterprise Node framework with DI / modules)
• Strong DB experience : PostgreSQL + ORMs (Prisma preferred), migrations, performance tuning
• Experience with Redis (caching, sessions, queues, or pub / sub)
• Strong API design skills (versioning, pagination, validation, idempotency, rate limiting)
• Strong testing mindset (unit + integration tests; TDD preferred)
• Experience operating services in Dockerized environments; CI / CD familiarity

Nice to have

• Azure deployment experience
• Experience building API Gateways or service routing
• Event-driven patterns / message queues (asynchronous workflows)
• Security best practices (token handling, secrets management, OWASP, RBAC)

What success looks like (first 30–60 days)

• Deliver 1–2 production-ready services / modules with clean API contracts and tests
• Stabilize database migrations and performance baseline
• Standardize code structure, PR conventions, and service templates

To apply : Send your resume + 2–3 relevant GitHub repos (or code samples), and briefly describe one backend system you scaled in production.
