• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics or a related technical field.
• Strong experience in Node.js for building APIs, backend services, and event-driven microservices.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB, RDS, ECS/EKS, and CloudWatch for building, deploying, and monitoring cloud-native applications.
• Proficiency in RESTful and event-driven API design, including schema versioning, pagination, error handling, and performance optimization.
• Experience integrating messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, AWS SQS/SNS, or EventBridge) into distributed architectures.
• Strong understanding of database design, including both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL, RDS) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB) data modeling principles, query optimization, and data integrity patterns.
• Object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and design pattern knowledge applied to building maintainable and testable backend systems.
• Experience with microservices architectures, inter-service communication, and observability (metrics, tracing, and logging).
