Hello,

Greetings,

Hope you are safe & healthy.
My name is Kundan Mishra. I am a Technical Recruiter with Altitude Technology Solutions (ATS) INC.
The purpose of this email is to serve as an invitation to discuss the opportunity below with our customer that I think you or your candidate would be a great fit for.

Position: Lead Node.js Developer

Location: Dallas, TX

Exp- 8 years

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead Node.js API Development:

  • Design, implement, and optimize scalable RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js (or similar frameworks).

  • Architect API systems for maximum scalability, resilience, and performance.

  • Ensure that APIs are modular, reusable, and easy to maintain.

  • Integrate with third-party services, databases, and other internal systems.

  • Resilience Engineering:

  • Apply principles of resilience engineering to design APIs that gracefully handle failures and continue to perform under stress.

  • Implement retry logic, circuit breakers, and rate-limiting to ensure the APIs can withstand transient failures.

  • Use techniques such as load balancing, failover mechanisms, and distributed architectures to improve fault tolerance.

  • Monitoring & Observability:

  • Set up and maintain real-time monitoring and alerting using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Datadog, or New Relic.

  • Ensure comprehensive logging, tracing, and metrics collection (e.g., through OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or Zipkin) to provide visibility into system health.

  • Proactively identify bottlenecks or performance issues and implement optimizations.

  • Collaborate with the DevOps team to ensure system health and visibility across all environments.

  • API Security:

  • Implement security best practices for API development (e.g., OAuth2, JWT tokens, rate limiting, IP listing, and API gateways).

  • Regularly perform code reviews and audits to ensure security vulnerabilities are mitigated.

  • Team Leadership & Collaboration:

  • Lead and mentor a team of Node.js developers, providing technical guidance, code reviews, and career development.

  • Drive adoption of best practices in API development, monitoring, and resilience across the team.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including front-end developers, DevOps, and QA to deliver high-quality software.

  • Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives to ensure the team is aligned and focused on the right goals.

  • Continuous Improvement:

  • Evaluate and recommend new technologies, tools, and frameworks that can improve development efficiency, monitoring capabilities, or resilience.

  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the development team.

  • Ensure the team adopts DevOps practices and that software is fully automated for CI/CD pipelines.

Skills & Qualifications:

  • Essential:

  • 5 years of experience in Node.js development, with at least 2 years of experience in a leadership role.

  • Strong expertise in designing and building RESTful APIs using Node.js.

  • Experience in building highly available, fault-tolerant systems that can handle production-level traffic.

  • Proficiency in monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Datadog, New Relic).

  • Experience with resilience patterns such as circuit breakers, retry logic, and rate limiting.

  • Deep understanding of API security best practices (OAuth2, JWT, API Gateways, etc.).

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure) and serverless architectures.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools (Jenkins, GitLab, CircleCI, etc.).

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex distributed systems.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

  • Desirable:

  • Experience with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Familiarity with microservices architecture and event-driven systems.

  • Experience working with NoSQL and relational databases (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).

  • Knowledge of automated testing and frameworks for Node.js (Mocha, Chai, Jest).

  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).

  • Knowledge of distributed tracing and service meshes (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).
