Mon-Fri, In office role with excellent perks and benefits!

Key Responsibilities:

1. Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Node.js or Python, or Java.

2. Build and implement scalable and robust microservices and integrate API gateways.

3. Develop and optimize NoSQL database structures and queries (e.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB).

4. Implement real-time data pipelines using Kafka.

5. Collaborate with front-end developers to ensure seamless integration of backend services.

6. Write clean, reusable, and efficient code following best practices, including design patterns.

7. Troubleshoot, debug, and enhance existing systems for improved performance.

Mandatory Skills:

1. Proficiency in at least one backend technology: Node.js or Python, or Java.

2. Strong experience in:

i. Microservices architecture,

ii. API gateways,

iii. NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB),

iv. Kafka

v. Data structures (e.g., arrays, linked lists, trees).

3. Frameworks:

i. If Java : Spring framework for backend development.

ii. If Python: FastAPI/Django frameworks for AI applications.

iii. If Node: Express.js for Node.js development.

Good to Have Skills:

1. Experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration.

2. Familiarity with in-memory databases like Redis or Memcached.

3. Frontend skills: Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or frameworks like React.js.

• Strong knowledge of PHP for backend work (3+ years’ experience)
• Experience with an MVC framework (CakePHP, Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc.)
• Strong knowledge of Javascript, HTML, CSS and related tools/packages (3+ years’ experience),
• Strong knowledge of MySQL (3+ years’ experience)
• Knowledge of React
• Though not required, experience with Python, Golang, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch.

• Experience with RDBMS systems (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite) and/or NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Couchbase). If you've written queries with more than two joins, or have a strong opinion of why an integer is better as a primary key (or maybe a UUID), we'd like to hear from you.
• Experience with container platforms and orchestrators such as Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift is a plus. If you can name one way in which a container is different than a regular process, you're golden.
• Are you a free software/open source nerd? Do you maintain open source projects? Are you a Hacker News reader? Do you remember the days when you had to compile your own Linux kernel? Do you believe it should be called GNU/Linux? Have you ever been in a fight with an Emacs user? Are you an Emacs user? Well, we have the job for you!
