Job Summary:
InterSources Inc is seeking a Sr Node.js Developer to join their Digital API team, focusing on designing and delivering domain-driven microservices for customer-facing digital experiences. The role involves leading engineering efforts, coding extensively, and collaborating across teams to ensure integrated releases and production readiness.
Responsibilities:
• Design & build domain-driven, event-aware microservices in Node.js/TypeScript (Express/Fastify/NestJS) with clean, testable code.
• Architect greenfield systems: service boundaries, data models, REST APIs, event streams, CI/CD, observability, and runtime topology.
• Set API standards: versioning, OpenAPI/Swagger, pagination, error contracts, resiliency patterns (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers).
• Own production readiness: SLOs, dashboards, alerting, runbooks; lead incident triage/bridge calls and drive blameless RCAs.
• Collaborate across teams (web, mobile, data, security, ops) to unblock work, sequence dependencies, and land integrated releases.
• Communicate proactively with leadership: crisp status, risk/mitigation, dependencies, and measurable outcomes.
• Raise the bar: code reviews, engineering best practices, mentoring, pair programming, tech talks, and documentation.
• Think two steps ahead: anticipate edge cases, scaling, operability, and cost; recommend pragmatic sequencing and trade-offs.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 8+ years backend engineering (or equivalent impact), 3+ years technical leadership on product teams.
• Expert-level Node.js/TypeScript with proven delivery of domain-driven microservices at scale.
• Strong 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.
Preferred:
• Experience in telecom (ordering, provisioning, billing, identity) or large consumer digital platforms.
• API gateways (Apigee/Kong), rate limiting/quotas, multi-tenant patterns.
• Performance tuning, capacity planning, and cost optimization in cloud environments.
