• API: RESTful Design

Key Responsibilities

As a foundational member of the team, you will:

• Design & Develop: Architect, build, and deploy robust server-side applications using Node.js and the NestJS framework.

• Code Quality: Champion clean, scalable, and maintainable code through expert use of TypeScript and participation in thorough code reviews.

• Data Ownership: Design, optimize, and manage PostgreSQL database schemas, including performance tuning, indexing, and executing migrations.

• Cloud Integration: Implement and maintain critical cloud services, with a strong focus on Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions).

• API Management: Develop and maintain high-performance, secure RESTful APIs, ensuring seamless integration with both internal services and third-party systems.

• Reliability: Actively monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize application performance and security to maintain platform reliability.

• Testing: Write and maintain comprehensive unit and integration tests to ensure the delivery of robust, production-ready applications.

• Collaboration: Work closely with front-end developers, product managers, and QA teams to translate requirements into technical designs and deliverables.
