Software Architect, Backend Developer, Cloud Engineer - Software

Role Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Architect to design, build, and scale modern backend platforms using Node.js, Type Script, and event-driven architectures. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in building high-throughput, resilient systems that process large transaction volumes and operate under heavy traffic conditions. This role requires strong architectural thinking, hands-on technical leadership, and experience designing distributed systems with Kafka, Dynamo

DB, and auto-scalable cloud infrastructure.

• Architect and lead the design of scalable backend systems using Node.js microservices and Type Script.
• Design and implement event-driven architectures using Kafka and asynchronous processing patterns.
• Build systems capable of handling high traffic, large data volumes, and real-time transaction processing.
• Ensure backend services are optimized for non-blocking I/O, async processing, and high concurrency.
• Define and enforce best practices for system reliability, fault tolerance, and performance tuning.
• Lead architecture for auto-scaling, load balancing, and high availability environments.
• Drive adoption of cloud-native design patterns and distributed system principles.
• Establish observability strategies including logging, monitoring, tracing, and alerting.
• Mentor engineers on modern backend patterns and scalable system design.

Core Backend & Architecture

• Strong proficiency in Type Script (mandatory).
• Deep understanding of async programming, non-blocking request handling, and event loop behavior.
• Performance optimization within Node runtime environments.

Event-Driven & Distributed Systems

• Strong expertise with Apache Kafka including producers/consumers, topic design, partitioning strategies, and durability.
• Experience building high-throughput messaging pipelines.

Data & Storage

• Strong experience with Dynamo
  
  DB including large-scale data modeling and partition key strategies.
• Experience handling large transaction datasets and streaming data pipelines.

Scalability & Reliability

• Experience designing auto-scaling and horizontally scalable systems.
• Expertise in high availability and fault-tolerant architectures.
• Implementation of rate limiting, circuit breakers, retry mechanisms, and idempotent processing.
• Experience with AWS cloud environments.
• Experience with Kubernetes orchestration.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code.

• Strong architectural decision-making ability.
• Experience leading backend platform design initiatives.
• Ability to work across product, platform, and Dev Ops teams.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Proven ability to mentor and guide engineering teams.

You will define the architectural foundation for high-scale backend systems handling millions of events and large transaction volumes, ensuring reliability, performance, and future scalability of the platform.
