We are hiring Senior Node.js / TypeScript Backend Developer (4 to 8 YOE) to build modern platforms on the Microsoft Azure stack for our North American clients. You will own APIs, data, quality and delivery end-to-end, work directly with our clients on design, demos and hand-offs, and use modern AI tooling responsibly to raise both velocity and craft. Strong CS fundamentals, rigorous analytical thinking, and a confident client-facing presence is essential.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
APIs & services on Azure
- Design and ship REST, event-driven and gRPC services in Node.js / TypeScript (NestJS · Fastify · Express · Bun where fit); contract-first with OpenAPI / AsyncAPI.
- Own the data layer across Azure SQL / PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB / Azure Cache for Redis; design for partitioning, RU cost, indexing and query performance.
- Deploy on Azure Container Apps · Functions · App Service · AKS; instrument with Application Insights + OpenTelemetry.
AI-assisted development & dev-owned quality
- Use AI coding agents (Copilot / Claude Code / Cursor) profitably and responsibly; ship code with tests, not
- tickets.
- Where the product calls for it, build AI features using MCP tools/servers, function-calling, structured output
- and RAG on Azure AI Search + Cosmos DB vector.
- Own unit · integration · contract tests (Vitest / Jest / Pact) and defect life-cycle in Azure Boards / JIRA; where AI features exist, run LLM evals and guardrails.
Delivery, CI/CD & security
- Trunk-based Git workflows and PR reviews on Azure Repos / GitHub; Azure DevOps Pipelines for build, test, scan and release.
- Enforce SonarQube, GitHub Advanced Security / CodeQL / Semgrep / Snyk, SBOM & SLSA supply-chain
- hygiene, OWASP hardening.
- Track and improve DORA metrics: deploy frequency, lead time, MTTR, change-failure rate.
Client engagement
- Independently run status calls, design walkthroughs, demos and RCAs with our North American clients.
- Turn ambiguous tasks into clear work items; surface trade-offs early; drive decisions with data.
ESSENTIAL SKILLS
- CS fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, complexity, networking, distributed-systems,primitives (idempotency, consistency, back-pressure).
- Rigorous critical & analytical thinking — first-principles reasoning, decomposing ambiguous problems, separating root cause from symptom, quantifying trade-offs, defending design decisions under scrutiny.
- Node.js + TypeScript in depth — type-system fluency (generics, discriminated unions, narrowing) and Node runtime internals; hands-on with NestJS / Fastify / Express (bonus: Bun).
- Type-safe backend patterns — Zod / Valibot for validation, Prisma / Drizzle for data access, tRPC where applicable.
- REST · GraphQL · gRPC, OpenAPI, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC / JWT, RBAC/ABAC.
- SQL & NoSQL on Azure — Azure SQL / PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB (SQL / Mongo APIs) + Azure Cache for Redis; workload-appropriate store selection.
- Azure app stack — Container Apps · Functions · App Service · Service Bus · Event Hubs · API Management Key Vault · Application Insights.
- Azure DevOps Repos · Boards · Pipelines · Artifacts; Docker; secure delivery pipelines.
- AI-in-SDLC judgment — when to use AI, when not to; IP, data-protection and prompt-hygiene discipline.
- Exceptional English communication — verbal and written — and a confident client-facing presence.
HIGHLY DESIRABLE
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS); Bicep / Terraform, IaC.
- Azure AI Foundry (Agent Service · Prompt Flow) and vector-search patterns.
- Advanced observability — OpenTelemetry, Prometheus + Grafana, ELK.
- Broader cloud (AWS / GCP) alongside Azure.
- Production LLM integrations — RAG, agentic workflows, evals-in-CI.
- Certifications — AZ-204, AZ-400, or equivalents.
REQUIREMENTS
- Bachelor of Engineering / Technology in Computer Science, Information Technology or an equivalent discipline.
- 4 to 8 years of hands-on Node.js / TypeScript backend experience, with demonstrated technical leadership and independent client-facing ownership.
- Direct North American client-facing communication is part of the role.
- A deep thinker who reasons from fundamentals and challenges assumptions constructively.
- Fluent with AI in your day-to-day — treats it as a force-multiplier while safeguarding correctness, security and IP; equally clear on when not to use it.
- A quality owner — ships tested, observable, secure code; not “throw it over the wall”.
- Client-facing and calm — articulate with senior stakeholders across time zones.
- High ownership, professionalism, and work ethics.
