- Develop event-driven and microservice architectures that are secure, resilient, and scalable.
- Write clean, well-tested code with strong unit and integration test coverage using tools such as Jest.
- Contribute to infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, and deployment.
- Integrate with internal systems, third-party services, and relational and NoSQL databases.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and tune application performance in production cloud environments.
- Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and Agile ceremonies with client and BrainRidge teams.
- Apply security and compliance best practices suited to regulated financial services environments.
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 3 years building backend services in Node.js and TypeScript.
- Strong knowledge of modern JavaScript and TypeScript, asynchronous programming, and API design.
- Hands-on experience building and deploying applications on AWS (Azure or GCP experience is an asset).
- Experience with serverless, containerized (Docker, Kubernetes or ECS), and microservice-based architectures.
- Working knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or MongoDB.
- Familiarity with infrastructure as code (Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation) and CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
- Experience in banking, insurance, or financial services is considered a strong asset.
- Clear communicator who can work with both technical and business stakeholders.
- Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and collaboration skills.
