Requisition

Join our AI&Data team to design, build, and evolve resilient backend services that power digital products  will work across complex systems with an end‑to‑end problem‑solving mindset, contributing to design, development, maintenance, and continuous improvement. You will uphold high engineering standards and help ensure code quality, operational excellence, and performance in production.

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Type Script with Node.js, following clean code and architectural best practices.
• Build synchronous and asynchronous services, exposing REST endpoints documented via OpenAPI, with strong attention to reliability, observability, and security.
• Contribute to design and architecture decisions, partnering with product, frontend, and platform teams to evolve services and domain models.
• Ensure operational excellence in production: debugging, root‑cause analysis, performance optimization, reliability improvements, and clear runbooks.
• Apply CI/CD practices (build, test, release automation) and a Dev Ops/IaC approach to provisioning, while writing automated tests (unit and integration) and participating in code reviews to maintain quality and consistency.
• Use Git for version control and manage collaborative workflows on Git Hub (pull requests, code reviews, branching strategies).
• Select and integrate the right data stores for the job (relational databases, No
  
  SQL, caching), understanding their trade‑offs and performance characteristics.
• Run services on Azure, leveraging native cloud capabilities and managed services where appropriate.

You bring strong software engineering fundamentals, a pragmatic approach to solving complex problems end‑to‑end, and a commitment to craftsmanship. Collaboration, communication, and ownership are key to succeeding in this role.

• Professional experience in server‑side development with Type Script and Node.js.
• Knowledge of multiple programming paradigms, including OOP and functional programming.
• Experience building REST services documented with OpenAPI (Swagger).
• Hands‑on practice with CI/CD pipelines and release automation.
• Direct experience on Microsoft Azure for developing and running backend services.
• Dev Ops mindset and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) experience.
• Proven ability to write automated tests (unit and integration).
• Proficiency with Git and collaborative workflows on Git Hub (pull requests, code review).
• Understanding of different storage types and their specifics (relational databases, No
  
  SQL, caches) and how to apply them effectively.
• Knowledge of Italian language.

• Experience with event‑driven architectures (queues, pub/sub), messaging patterns, and asynchronous processing.
• Familiarity with observability stacks (logging, metrics, tracing) and SLO/SLA practices.
• Knowledge of security best practices (auth
  
  N/auth
  
  Z, OWASP, secrets management).
• Exposure to containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) on Azure.

Curious, pragmatic engineers who take ownership, care about code quality and operability, and enjoy collaborating in cross‑functional teams to deliver reliable, scalable services in production.
