  • ️ Implement event-driven architectures using message brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka) and real-time systems (WebSockets / Socket.io).
  • ️ Optimize MySQL / PostgreSQL databases through query tuning, indexing, and sharding strategies.
  • ️ Build and maintain caching layers with Redis (e.g., cache invalidation, clustering, Lua scripting).

System Integration & Collaboration :

  • ️ Integrate third-party APIs (payment gateways, authentication services) with fault tolerance and retry logic.
  • ️ Collaborate with frontend and DevOps teams to design cloud-native solutions (AWS / GCP / Azure) and containerized deployments (Docker / Kubernetes).
  • ️ Write clean, maintainable code following SOLID principles and participate in rigorous code reviews.
  • Performance & Troubleshooting :

  • ️ Identify and resolve bottlenecks in distributed systems, including database latency, message queue tuning, and API performance.
  • ️ Implement monitoring and logging (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) for production systems.
  • ️ Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for critical issues and implement preventive measures.
  • Process & Best Practices :

  • ️ Advocate for test-driven development (TDD) and write automated tests (Jest, Mocha, Cypress).
  • ️ Contribute to CI / CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
  • ️ Document technical designs, API specs (Swagger / OpenAPI), and system architecture.
  • ✅ Technical Requirements

    Core Skills :

  • ️ 5+ years in backend development, with 3+ years of commercial Node.js experience.
  • ️ Expertise in Node.js frameworks : Express.js, NestJS, Fastify.
  • ️ Advanced proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript (ES6+, async / await, streams).
  • ️ Deep understanding of REST / WebSocket APIs and microservices architecture.
  • Databases & Tools :

  • ️ MySQL / PostgreSQL : Complex query optimization, replication, ORMs (Sequelize / TypeORM).
  • ️ Redis : Cache strategies, pub / sub, and persistence configurations.
  • ️ RabbitMQ / Kafka : Message queuing, event streaming, and dead-letter handling.
  • DevOps & Cloud :

  • ️ Experience with AWS / GCP / Azure (Lambda, EC2, S3, Cloud Functions).
  • ️ Proficiency in Docker and basic knowledge of Kubernetes.
  • ️ Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Bonus Skills :

  • ️ Knowledge of serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Serverless Framework).
  • ️ Experience with GraphQL (Apollo Server, schema design).
  • ️ Understanding of security practices (JWT, OAuth2, encryption).
