Overall Objective of the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled and autonomous Full Stack Developer with a strong background in Node.js to join our team in building robust, scalable, and high-performance APIs for applications. This role is unique as you will be the sole Node.js expert in the team, owning the backend stack and collaborating closely with frontend developers, product owners, architects and QA.

You will be expected to work independently, with minimal supervision, taking full ownership of the existing backend components, designing and developing new RESTful APIs using Node.js and MongoDB (via Mongoose), and supporting microservices infrastructure from the system.

You will be part of the Infra team within the Infra & Orch Group, which focuses on developing tools and processes for installing, configuring, and managing our products. The Infra team is responsible for both in-house applications that support product infrastructure (such as user management, authentication integrations, and system configurations) as well as third-party open-source solutions, including databases (MongoDB, Vertica), monitoring tools (Prometheus, EFK), and other technologies like Kafka and MinIO.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable backend services using js and Mongoose.
• Design data models and queries with MongoDB, optimizing for performance and scalability.
• Collaborate with product owner, architect, frontend developers, DevOps, and other team members on end-to-end product delivery.
• Take end-to-end responsibility for backend features — from requirements gathering to production support.
• Identify bottlenecks, bugs, and devise elegant solutions to mitigate and address them.
• Implement best practices for code quality, testing, and performance optimization.
• Write unit and integration tests for critical components.
• Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions.
• Work with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and deployment.

Requirements

Must Have:

• +5 years of experience as a Full Stack Developer with at least 3 years in Node.js.
• Strong proficiency with MongoDB and Mongoose ORM.
• Strong understanding of JavaScript (ES6+) and asynchronous programming.
• Comfortable with frontend technologies like React, Angular, or Vue.js (React preferred).
• Experience building RESTful APIs following best practice guidelines.
• Experience implementing OAuth2, JWT and SSO mechanism.
• Strong experience with authentication, authorization protocols and API security practices.
• Familiarity with Git and version control workflows.
• Basic understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and microservices.
• Good understanding of software development principles and lifecycles.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git, Jenkins).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Highly independent and self-motivated.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work closely with frontend teams.
• Proactive communicator, comfortable raising concerns and proposing improvements.
• Ownership mentality — treats systems as their own and ensures they run smoothly.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with TypeScript in Node.js applications.
• Familiar working with Vertica DB or other relational databases.
• Familiarity with 3rd party tools (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK).
• Understanding of message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) is a plus.
• Familiarity with Swagger or similar tools for API documentation.
