Integration: Ensure seamless integration between frontend and backend systems, including Salesforce and ServiceNow where applicable. Database Management: Design, optimize, and maintain PostgreSQL databases for efficient data storage and retrieval. Frontend Architecture: Create modular, reusable components and implement state management using libraries like Redux or Context API. API Development: Develop and maintain RESTful APIs to support frontend functionality and third-party integrations. Performance Optimization: Optimize frontend and backend performance for faster load times and efficient resource usage. Code Quality and Reviews: Maintain high standards for code quality through best practices, code reviews, and performance testing. Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation for systems and processes. Problem Solving: Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues to ensure the stability and reliability of the platform. Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including customers, developers, and QA engineers, to deliver high-quality software solutions. Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience. Minimum of ten (10) years of experience in production software engineering roles. Strong expertise in React.js and its core principles (components, state/props, lifecycle methods, hooks, and virtual DOM). Proven experience in Node.js backend development, including REST API design, error handling, performance optimization, and implementing monitoring solutions for distributed applications.. Expertise with PostgreSQL database design, optimization, and maintenance. Proficiency with AWS services (e.g., Lambda, S3, API Gateway, SQS). Knowledge of software architecture, design patterns, and secure development practices (e.g., OWASP). Experience with asynchronous communication tools like Slack, Zoom, and Jira. Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Effective communication and collaboration skills across distributed teams. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices. Ability to mentor and guide junior developers. Preferred Experience:
Experience implementing advanced performance optimization techniques for Node.js applications, such as load balancing, asynchronous programming patterns, and efficient use of resources. Familiarity with error handling best practices in distributed systems, ensuring fault tolerance and graceful degradation. Knowledge of modern monitoring tools and practices, such as observability frameworks (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry) to ensure system reliability and proactive issue detection. Experience with client-side caching solutions like Redis. Familiarity with event-driven tools such as Kafka. Hands-on experience with legacy codebases (e.g., AngularJS) and modernizing them. Exposure to Salesforce and SOQL integration. Strong understanding of systems design, including designing scalable, distributed systems and handling trade-offs in architecture. Base Salary Range:
$95,800 - $136,900 USD/annually, commensurate with experience.
