As a skilled Node.js Developer with 5+ years of experience, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable backend services and robust APIs for web and mobile platforms. You should have a passion for clean code, modern JavaScript (ES6+), and API-driven architecture. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Designing, developing, testing, and deploying scalable backend services using Node.js and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Building and maintaining RESTful and GraphQL APIs with clear contracts, versioning, and comprehensive documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger).
• Implementing secure, efficient, and reusable API patterns with proper error handling, input validation, and rate limiting.
• Integrating with databases (SQL & NoSQL), message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and third-party services (payment gateways, identity providers, etc.).
• Collaborating with frontend teams, product managers, and DevOps engineers to deliver end-to-end features.
• Optimizing application performance, scalability, and reliability through profiling, caching, and asynchronous processing.
• Writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using frameworks like Jest, Supertest, and Mocha.
• Participating in code reviews, CI/CD pipeline improvements, and infrastructure automation (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP).
• Staying up-to-date with emerging trends in Node.js ecosystem and advocating for best practices.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Node.js backend development.
• Strong command of JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript.
• Proven experience in API design and development REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI/Swagger.
• Deep understanding of asynchronous programming, event-driven architecture, and non-blocking I/O.
• Experience with Express.js, NestJS, or similar frameworks.
• Familiarity with database technologies: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, or similar.
• Experience with message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) and event-driven systems.
• Proficiency in Git, Jenkins, Docker, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a remote or distributed team.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Good to Have (Preferred):

• Hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, API Gateway, CloudWatch, IAM, CloudFormation, etc.).
• Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, data processing, or backend integration.
• Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions).
• Knowledge of microservices architecture, service discovery, and distributed tracing.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Contributions to open-source projects or technical blogs.
• Experience working with authentication/authorization systems (OAuth2, JWT, Okta, AWS Cognito).
