As we continue to grow, we are seeking a motivated and experienced TypeScript/Node.js Developer.

Role Overview: We are seeking a skilled and hands-on TypeScript Node.js Developer to design, build, and support cloud-native backend services for our financial services clients. You will own the development of secure, scalable APIs and microservices running in the cloud, working closely with architects, front-end developers, QA, and DevOps engineers. Your work will help our clients modernize their platforms and deliver reliable digital experiences to their customers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and RESTful or GraphQL APIs using TypeScript and Node.js.
  • Build cloud-native and serverless solutions on AWS, using services such as Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, DynamoDB, S3, and SQS/SNS.
  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 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.

Our Commitment At BrainRidge Consulting, we value and prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace leads to a more innovative and productive team.
