We are hiring Senior Node.js / TypeScript backend engineers to lead the design and delivery of modern

platforms on the Microsoft Azure stack for our North American clients. You will own APIs, data, quality and

delivery end-to-end, set the technical bar for the team, act as the primary technical voice with clients on

the systems you lead, and use modern AI tooling responsibly to raise both velocity and craft. Strong CS

fundamentals, rigorous analytical thinking, demonstrated technical leadership, and independent

client-facing ownership are essential.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

APIs & services on Azure

- Design and ship REST, event-driven and gRPC services in Node.js / TypeScript (NestJS - Fastify - Express - Bun

where fit); contract-first with OpenAPI / AsyncAPI.

- Own the data layer across Azure SQL / PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB / Azure Cache for Redis; design for

partitioning, RU cost, indexing and query performance.

- Deploy on Azure Container Apps - Functions - App Service - AKS; instrument with Application Insights +

OpenTelemetry.

AI-assisted development & dev-owned quality

- Use AI coding agents (Copilot / Claude Code / Cursor) profitably and responsibly; ship code with tests, not

tickets.

- Where the product calls for it, build AI features using MCP tools/servers, function-calling, structured output

and RAG on Azure AI Search + Cosmos DB vector.

- Own unit - integration - contract tests (Vitest / Jest / Pact) and defect life-cycle in Azure Boards / JIRA; where

AI features exist, run LLM evals and guardrails.

Delivery, CI/CD & security

- Trunk-based Git workflows and PR reviews on Azure Repos / GitHub; Azure DevOps Pipelines for build, test,

scan and release.

- Enforce SonarQube, GitHub Advanced Security / CodeQL / Semgrep / Snyk, SBOM & SLSA supply-chain

hygiene, OWASP hardening.

- Track and improve DORA metrics:



deploy frequency, lead time, MTTR, change-failure rate.

Client engagement

- Independently run status calls, design walkthroughs, demos and RCAs with our North American clients.
- Turn ambiguous asks into clear work items; surface trade-offs early; drive decisions with data.

Leadership & craft

- Set the technical bar — API design, test rigour, security — and mentor mid engineers through code review,

pairing and design docs.

- Own delivery of complete features end-to-end, and act as the primary technical voice with the client on the

systems you lead.

YOU ARE

- A deep thinker who reasons from fundamentals and challenges assumptions constructively.
- Fluent with AI in your day-to-day — treats it as a force-multiplier while safeguarding correctness, security and

IP; equally clear on when not to use it.

- A quality owner — ships tested, observable, secure code; not “throw it over the wall”.
- A quiet standard-setter — other engineers look at your PRs to learn what good looks like.
- Client-facing and calm — articulate with senior stakeholders across time zones.
- High ownership, professionalism, and work ethics.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

- CS fundamentals — data structures, algorithms,

complexity, networking, distributed-systems

primitives (idempotency, consistency,

back-pressure).





- Rigorous critical & analytical thinking —

first-principles reasoning, decomposing ambiguous

problems, separating root cause from symptom,

quantifying trade-offs, defending design decisions

under scrutiny.

- Node.js + TypeScript in depth — type-system

fluency (generics, discriminated unions, narrowing)

and Node runtime internals; hands-on with NestJS /

Fastify / Express (bonus: Bun).

- Type-protected backend patterns — Zod / Valibot for

validation, Prisma / Drizzle for data access, tRPC

where applicable.

- REST - GraphQL - gRPC, OpenAPI, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC /

JWT, RBAC/ABAC.

- SQL & NoSQL on Azure — Azure SQL / PostgreSQL

and Cosmos DB (SQL / Mongo APIs) + Azure Cache

for Redis; workload-appropriate store selection.

- Azure app stack — Container Apps - Functions - App

Service - Service Bus - Event Hubs - API Management

- Key Vault - Application Insights.
- Azure DevOps Repos - Boards - Pipelines - Artifacts; Docker; secure delivery pipelines.
- AI-in-SDLC judgment — when to use AI, when not to; IP, data-protection and prompt-hygiene discipline.
- Exceptional English communication — verbal and

written — and a confident client-facing presence.

HIGHLY DESIRABLE

- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS); Bicep / Terraform

IaC.

- Azure AI Foundry (Agent Service - Prompt Flow) and

vector-search patterns.

- Advanced observability — OpenTelemetry,

Prometheus + Grafana, ELK.

- Broader cloud (AWS / GCP) alongside Azure.
- Production LLM integrations — RAG, agentic

workflows, evals-in-CI.

- Certifications — AZ-204, AZ-400, or equivalents.

REQUIREMENTS :

- Bachelor of Engineering / Technology in Computer Science, Information Technology or an equivalent

discipline.

- 4 to 8 years of hands
