• Code Quality: Advocate for and implement best practices in testing (Unit/Integration), CI/CD, and documentation.

Technical Requirements:

• Mastery of TypeScript: Deep understanding of types, interfaces, and advanced TS patterns.

• Node.js Expertise: Proven experience building backend services (knowledge of NestJS or Express is a plus).

• DevOps: Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud hosting (Azure).

Nice to Have:

• Practical experience using AI-powered development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude) to improve productivity, code quality, testing, refactoring, and documentation workflows.
