TypeScript/Node.js Architect

Core Technical Skills Strong expertise in TypeScript and Node.js Hands‑on experience with: Streams Worker threads Deep knowledge of Kafka architecture and tuning We are seeking a TypeScript Architect with a strong background in event‑driven microservices, real‑time data pipelines (Kafka), and cloud‑native application design. The ideal candidate will lead the technical architecture for scalable backend systems leveraging TypeScript/Node.js, DynamoDB, Kafka, and advanced caching and performance optimization strategies. Key Responsibilities Architect scalable backend systems using TypeScript/Node.js and event‑driven patterns (Kafka, SNS/SQS, or equivalent) Design and implement streaming and asynchronous processing pipelines for large‑scale workloads Define and enforce data modeling and partitioning strategies for DynamoDB Establish and optimize caching layers (Redis, ElastiCache, DAX, in‑memory caching) Perform profiling and performance tuning across CPU, memory, network, database, and I/O Define API contracts, message schemas (Avro/JSON), and versioning standards Implement observability practices (metrics, tracing, structured logging) Collaborate with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and autoscaling strategies Mentor engineering teams on TypeScript best practices and microservice resilience patterns (circuit breaker, retry, backoff) Partner with stakeholders to evolve system architecture aligned with business goals Required Skills TypeScript & Node.js: Advanced expertise including async programming and concurrency Kafka: Architecture, partitioning, consumer groups, rebalancing, offset management, schema evolution AWS DynamoDB: Data modeling, secondary indexes, TTL, streams, DAX, large‑scale design Caching: Redis, Memcached, DAX, CDN edge caching Performance Optimization: CPU profiling, async I/O, connection pooling, load testing API Design: REST and GraphQL, schema federation, API gateways DevOps Practices: CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), Kubernetes/EKS, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) #J-18808-Ljbffr Net2Source (N2S)
