• Message Queue Integration: Implement message queue systems using Kafka for asynchronous communication between microservices and data processing.
• Database Management: Design and optimize MongoDB databases, including schema design, indexing, and query optimization, to ensure efficient data storage and retrieval.
• Microservices Architecture: Architect and implement microservices-based architecture, breaking down monolithic applications into smaller, more manageable services.
• Data Streaming: Implement real-time data streaming pipelines using Kafka for processing and analyzing large volumes of data.
• Security and Authentication: Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms to secure backend APIs and services, including JWT, OAuth, or similar protocols.
• Monitoring and Logging: Set up monitoring and logging infrastructure using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack to track system health, performance, and errors.
• Deployment and DevOps: Work closely with DevOps engineers to automate deployment pipelines, ensure continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
• Code Reviews and Best Practices: Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and promote best practices in backend development to ensure code quality, maintainability, and scalability.
• Documentation: Document architecture, design decisions, and API specifications for future reference and knowledge sharing.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 4 years of professional experience in backend development.
• Proficiency in Node.js for building scalable and efficient server-side applications.
• Experience with Apache Kafka for building distributed streaming platforms and event-driven architectures.
• Strong understanding of MongoDB and NoSQL databases, including schema design and query optimization.
• Experience with microservices architecture and containerization using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with RESTful API design principles and best practices.
• Proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with other backend technologies such as Express.js, NestJS, or Fastify.
• Knowledge of other message queue systems like RabbitMQ or ActiveMQ.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and ORM frameworks (e.g., Sequelize, TypeORM).
• Understanding of GraphQL and its implementation.
• Knowledge of security best practices and common vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10).
• Experience with testing frameworks like Mocha, Chai, or Jest.

• Join our team and contribute to building scalable, high-performance backend systems that power our innovative web applications and services!
