Need strong candidates

The Role

Digital API team is looking for a

hands-on Architect

with deep

Node.js/TypeScript

expertise to design and deliver domain-driven microservices for customer-facing digital experiences. You ll own greenfield builds from zero-to-production, lead engineers by example (coding ~70% of the time), and drive cross-team triage while keeping leadership proactively informed.

What You ll Do

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.

Think two steps ahead:

anticipate edge cases, scaling, operability, and cost; recommend pragmatic sequencing and trade-offs.

Tech Stack You ll Work With

Languages/Frameworks:

Node.js, TypeScript, Express/Fastify/NestJS

APIs:

REST, OpenAPI/Swagger, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT

Data:

PostgreSQL/MySQL, NoSQL (MongoDB/DynamoDB), Redis cache

Messaging/Streaming:

Kafka/RabbitMQ (sagas, outbox, idempotency)

Cloud & Platform:

One major cloud (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform), Docker, Kubernetes, API Gateway/Ingress, IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation)

CI/CD & Observability:

GitHub Actions/Jenkins, ELK/Dynatrace, feature flags, OpenTelemetry, Datadog/New Relic/Prometheus, log aggregation

What You ll Bring

Overall 15+years consultants required

13+ years

backend engineering (or equivalent impact),

5+ years

technical leadership on product teams. Expert-level

Node.js/TypeScript

with proven delivery of

domain-driven microservices

at scale. 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. Production experience with

Kubernetes

and cloud-native deployment,

CI/CD , and

observability

(metrics, traces, logs, SLOs). 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. Bias for action: you

go the extra mile , anticipate the next two steps, and ship high-quality software.

Nice to Have

Experience in

telecom

(ordering, provisioning, billing, identity) or large consumer digital platforms. API gateways (Apigee/Kong), rate limiting/quotas, multi-tenant patterns. Performance tuning, capacity planning, and cost optimization in cloud environments.
