Job Description & How to Apply Below
We are hiring — Senior Node.js Developer | CLM Back-End | Halifax, Montreal or Calgary

This is an urgent placement into one of Canada's largest financial institutions, supporting a high-priority Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) Transformation Program.

This is a back-end integration role. You will be building the messaging infrastructure, caching layers, and data pipelines that power client onboarding at scale.

If Node.js is your primary language and you have built event-driven systems in production — not just listed them on your resume — we want to speak with you.

Responsibilities

Design and develop back-end integrations for CLM platforms using Node.js

Build and maintain messaging infrastructure using Solace and Kafka

Implement and optimize Redis caching, Elastic Search, and database layers (Mongo

DB, MS SQL)

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver against program milestones

Leverage AI-assisted development tools (Git Hub Copilot and similar) in daily workflows

Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and continuous improvement

What you need to bring

5+ years of software development experience, Node.js — primary language, production depth. This is not a side skill. You write Node.js daily and own back-end services end to end.

Kafka or Solace — production messaging experience. You have designed topic structures, configured consumer groups, and handled failure scenarios in a live environment.

Redis — production caching. You understand invalidation strategies, TTL decisions, and cache-aside patterns from real delivery experience.

MS SQL — T-SQL and query optimization. You have read execution plans, added composite indexes, and fixed slow queries by diagnosing the actual problem.

Mongo

DB — No

SQL data modeling duction No

SQL experience in a distributed system context.

5 or more years of software development experience, Senior-level ownership. You have led back-end decisions, not just implemented them.

Strong assets

Experience with Elastic Search, CLM, KYC or AML workflows, financial services domain knowledge, Git Hub Copilot or similar AI coding tools, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, idempotency patterns, event sourcing, and microservices architecture.

The profile we are looking for

You can describe your Kafka topic design from memory, not from a tutorial.

You have debugged a production messaging problem and know what consumer lag actually means.

You have optimized a slow SQL query by reading an execution plan, not by guessing.

You think about idempotency before you write the consumer.

You are comfortable working in a regulated environment — audit trails, data governance, and compliance-aware API design are familiar to you.

You actively use AI coding tools in your workflow and have a clear view of where they help and where they do not.
