This role is ideal for someone with a minimum of 13+ years in the software industry and hands-on experience in designing, architecting, and optimizing large-scale distributed applications. You will be responsible for not only coding and architectural design but also for leading teams, setting coding standards, optimizing database performance, and shaping the technical direction of projects.
What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)
- Write, review, and ensure high-quality, maintainable, and efficient code.
- Collaborate with clients and stakeholders to understand business and functional requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
- Architect, design, and build microservices-based applications leveraging Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL.
- Lead the adoption and implementation of best practices in API design (REST/GraphQL) and system architecture.
- Optimize cloud-native application performance using AWS Lambda, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and other container orchestration tools.
- Drive DevOps practices with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment tools including Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Octopus, Bamboo, Kubernetes, and Docker.
- Fine-tune PostgreSQL queries, indexes, and performance bottlenecks to ensure robust backend operations.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end technical solutions in an agile and collaborative environment.
- Mentor junior developers, perform code reviews, and ensure adherence to best software engineering practices.
- Lead and support UAT (User Acceptance Testing) and production rollout processes.
- Take ownership of estimating efforts, creating work breakdown structures (WBS), and ensuring timely and successful project deliveries.
- Explore and conduct proof of concepts (POCs) to validate architectural choices and emerging technologies.
- Actively contribute to issue resolution, and provide creative, out-of-the-box solutions to technical and design challenges.
- Inspire a culture of continuous improvement, learning, and collaboration.
