• Build and support RESTful and/or event‑driven APIs, ensuring consistency, performance, and reliability.
• Participate in the modernization or decomposition of existing systems into modular, service‑based architectures.
• Integrate with third‑party services and external APIs while applying best practices for security and error handling.

• Support and enhance CI/CD pipelines to enable automated testing and deployments.
• Contribute to infrastructure‑as‑code initiatives to ensure repeatable and maintainable environments.
• Participate in architectural discussions, code reviews, and technical design sessions.
• Work within an Agile/Scrum framework, contributing to planning, refinement, demos, and retrospectives.
• Collaborate with Product, QA, and Data teams to ensure solutions meet functional and non‑functional requirements.

• 3+ years of professional back‑end development experience with Node.js (required).
• Strong experience building APIs using Node.js frameworks such as Express, NestJS, Fastify, or similar.
• Solid understanding of asynchronous programming, event loops, and non‑blocking I/O.
• Experience designing service‑oriented or microservice‑based architectures.
• Hands‑on experience deploying and managing applications in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Experience with Docker and container‑based deployments.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and automated deployment workflows.
• Experience using Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or Cloud Formation.
• Strong understanding of API integration patterns, error handling, and versioning.
• Experience working in Agile development teams.
• Proficiency with Git and modern software development best practices.
• Must reside in Florida or Texas.

• Experience with Type Script in Node.js environments.
• Familiarity with serverless architectures (e.g., cloud functions, managed API gateways).
• Experience with event‑driven systems, message queues, or streaming platforms.
• Exposure to monitoring, logging, and observability tools.
• Knowledge of cloud security best practices and identity management.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers or contributing to technical leadership initiatives.
