Digital API team is looking for Node.js/TypeScript expertise to design and deliver domain-driven microservices for customer-facing digital experiences.
Requirements
- Node.js, TypeScript, Express/Fastify/NestJS
- REST, OpenAPI/Swagger, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT
- PostgreSQL/MySQL, NoSQL (MongoDB/DynamoDB), Redis cache
- Kafka/RabbitMQ (sagas, outbox, idempotency)
- One major cloud (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform), Docker, Kubernetes, API Gateway/Ingress, IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation)
- GitHub Actions/Jenkins, ELK/Dynatrace, feature flags, OpenTelemetry, Datadog/New Relic/Prometheus, log aggregation
- Expert-level Node.js/TypeScript with proven delivery of domain-driven microservices at scale.
Responsibilities
- Design & build domain-driven, event-aware microservices in Node.js/TypeScript (Express/Fastify/NestJS) with clean, testable code.
- Architect greenfield systems: service boundaries, data models, REST APIs, event streams, CI/CD, observability, and runtime topology.
- Set API standards: versioning, OpenAPI/Swagger, pagination, error contracts, resiliency patterns (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers).
- Own production readiness: SLOs, dashboards, alerting, runbooks; lead incident triage/bridge calls and drive blameless RCAs.
- Collaborate across teams (web, mobile, data, security, ops) to unblock work, sequence dependencies, and land integrated releases.
- Communicate proactively with leadership: crisp status, risk/mitigation, dependencies, and measurable outcomes.
- Raise the bar: code reviews, engineering best practices, mentoring, pair programming, tech talks, and documentation.
Other
- 8+ years backend engineering (or equivalent impact), 3+ years technical leadership on product teams.
- Strong grasp of DDD (entities/aggregates/bounded contexts), event-driven architectures, and microservice patterns (saga, outbox, circuit breaker).
- Designed secure, resilient public APIs used by web/mobile clients; deep understanding of authN/authZ (OAuth2/OIDC), secrets, and TLS.
- Demonstrated success leading triage/incident response and driving RCAs to lasting improvements.
- Outstanding communication able to simplify complex trade-offs, tell a delivery story, and keep partners aligned.
