Lead (Node.js and API

Digital Api Architect

Role Digital API team is looking for a hands-on Architect with deep Node.js/Type Script expertise to design and deliver domain-driven microservices for customer-facing digital experiences. You’ll own greenfield builds from zero-to-production, lead engineers by example (coding ~70% of the time), and drive cross-team triage while keeping leadership proactively informed. 8+ years backend engineering (or equivalent impact), 3+ years technical leadership on product teams.

Expert-level Node.js/Type Script with proven delivery of domain-driven microservices ong grasp of DDD (entities/aggregates/bounded contexts), event-driven architectures, and microservice patterns (saga, outbox, circuit breaker). Designed secure, resilient public APIs used by web/mobile clients; deep understanding of authN/authZ (OAuth2/OIDC), secrets, and TLS. Production experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native deployment, CI/CD, and observability (metrics, traces, logs, SLOs). Demonstrated success leading triage/incident response and driving RCAs to lasting improvements.

Outstanding communication able to simplify complex trade-offs, tell a delivery story, and keep partners aligned. Bias for action: you go the extra mile, anticipate the next two steps, and ship high-quality software.
