Location :Remote (USA)
Job Type: Contract
Job overview
We are seeking a Node.js Developer with strong TypeScript experience to build and support scalable backend services on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. This role will focus on designing and developing APIs and event-driven services that integrate with Apache Kafka for real-time data processing and system communication. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in modern CI/CD environments, writing clean and testable code, and collaborating across product, engineering, and operations teams.
Key Responsibilities
Backend Development (Node.js / TypeScript)
Design, develop, and maintain backend services and RESTful APIs using Node.js and TypeScript.
Build reusable modules and service components with a focus on scalability, performance, and maintainability.
Write unit tests and participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality deliverables.
Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka)
Develop producers/consumers and service integrations leveraging Apache Kafka.
Support message processing workflows, error handling, retries, and operational visibility for Kafka-driven services.
Azure Cloud Engineering
Build and deploy services on Azure, following cloud-native design patterns and security best practices.
Collaborate with DevOps/Platform teams to support deployment automation, environment configuration, and operational stability.
CI/CD, Observability & Production Support
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows (branching, pull requests, code reviews).
Troubleshoot production issues by analyzing logs/metrics, identifying root causes, and implementing long-term fixes.
Improve monitoring and operational readiness through dashboards, alerts, and runbooks. (General best practice-tailorable to your environment.)
Collaboration & Agile Delivery
Work closely with stakeholders to refine requirements, estimate work, and deliver iteratively in an Agile environment.
Communicate progress, risks, and dependencies clearly with the broader delivery team.
Required Qualifications
Strong backend development experience with Node.js and TypeScript.
Hands-on experience building and integrating event-driven services using Apache Kafka.
Experience deploying and running services on Microsoft Azure.
Solid understanding of API design, distributed system fundamentals, and production troubleshooting.
Proficiency with Git-based development workflows and collaborative engineering practices.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)
Experience with Azure-native DevOps tooling and pipeline automation.
Familiarity with observability practices (metrics, tracing, dashboards) for production systems.
Experience integrating Node.js services with frontend frameworks or proxy layers.
Tech Stack
Backend: Node.js, TypeScript
Cloud: Microsoft Azure
Messaging: Apache Kafka
Tools/Practices: Git workflows, CI/CD, code reviews
What Success Looks Like
Reliable, maintainable Node.js services delivered with strong test coverage and clean TypeScript design.
Kafka-based integrations that are resilient, observable, and easy to operate in production.
Azure deployments that are repeatable, secure, and aligned with operational best practices.
Strong collaboration across teams with clear communication and consistent delivery.
