Skills Required

Description

Building a scalable, API-first ecommerce platform demands a backend developer with deep technical expertise and architectural insight. This role requires proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript to design and maintain robust backend services that support high-traffic, high-performance applications.

The right candidate will bring hands-on experience with PostgreSQL for relational data modeling, along with Firebase for real-time capabilities and notifications. Familiarity with Docker is essential for containerization and deployment in multi-environment workflows.

Daily tasks include designing and documenting APIs, maintaining server-side logic, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to integrate features efficiently. Performance tuning, security enforcement, and writing clean, testable code are critical parts of this position.

This long-term opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives in building structured, scalable systems from the ground up while applying best practices in API architecture and database optimization.
