- Strong understanding of API design principles (REST, GraphQL) and microservices architecture patterns.
- Proficiency with Git-based workflows, including complex branching strategies, pull request management, and code quality gating.
- Experience with observability practices, including metrics, tracing, and dashboards, to ensure production system health and performance.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Success Metrics and Culture
- Delivery of reliable, maintainable Node.js services with high unit and integration test coverage exceeding 90%.
- Successful implementation of Kafka-based integrations that are resilient, observable, and easy to operate in a high-load production environment.
- Consistent contribution to Agile ceremonies, providing accurate estimates and meeting sprint goals with high-quality deliverables.
