We’re looking for a fully back-end engineer (no full-stack/front-end) to join our Theme Park Microservices team. This group is responsible for building and evolving REST microservices that power a large-scale systems integration initiative. Many internal product teams depend on these services, so reliability, scalability, and clean API design are paramount. You’ll work hands-on with Node.js and TypeScript, design and implement RESTful APIs, and collaborate across architecture and quality engineering (QE) to ensure services meet specifications and performance standards.

  • Design, build, and maintain RESTful APIs, modules, and reusable packages using Node.js & TypeScript.
  • Document APIs and service contracts; contribute to internal libraries and standards.
  • Own quality via unit tests and TDD practices; ensure high coverage and maintainability.
  • Collaborate closely with Architecture, QE, and cross-functional teams in a Scaled Agile environment (participate in Agile ceremonies).
  • Monitor and evolve services for performance, scalability, and reliability (observability-first mindset).
  • Support integration efforts and guide dependent teams on consuming microservices correctly.
  • 3–4 years experience building RESTful APIs and microservices using:
  • Node.js and TypeScript (deep fluency required)
  • JavaScript (modern ES features)
  • Express.js or similar Node frameworks
  • Git (GitHub/GitLab) for version control, PR workflows, and code reviews
  • Strong experience with NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, CouchDB), data modeling, and performance considerations.
  • Demonstrated practice in Unit Testing / TDD (e.g., Jest, Mocha, Chai).
  • Solid understanding of API standards (HTTP, status codes, error handling, authentication/authorization).
  • Strict requirement: This is a back-end only role. Front-end or full-stack profiles will not be considered.
  • Docker and containerization best practices.
  • Kubernetes for orchestration and service deployment.
  • Experience with Elastic (Elasticsearch) for search/observability.
  • Familiarity with JSON schema design and validation, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.
  • CI/CD exposure (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and code quality gates.
  • Medical, dental & vision
  • Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available
  • Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents)
  • Short and long-term disability
  • Health Spending Account (HSA)
  • Transportation benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave)
