Junior Node.js And PostgreSQL Backend Web Developer

As a Junior Node.js and PostgreSQL Backend Web Developer, you will be instrumental in designing and maintaining server-side logic, defining database schemas, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness of requests from the frontend. You will work closely with cross-functional product squads to build secure, scalable, and resilient application backends.

You will write clean, scalable server-side code using Express.js and Node.js runtime environments. Your core responsibilities include designing relational database schemas in PostgreSQL, implementing secure authentication mechanisms, developing robust API endpoints, and conducting rigorous unit testing to guarantee system stability and data integrity under high traffic loads.

• Design and implement scalable backend services using Node.js and Express.js frameworks.
• Build and maintain optimized relational database schemas and complex queries using PostgreSQL and MySQL.
• Develop secure RESTful APIs and GraphQL services for seamless frontend integration.
• Implement comprehensive automated testing suites for backend controllers and services.
• Manage code repositories, branching strategies, and CI/CD pipelines via Git and GitHub.
• Monitor server performance and troubleshoot application latency, memory leaks, and database bottlenecks.

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proficiency in Backend Technologies including Node.js and Express.js.
• Solid understanding of Database Systems, specifically PostgreSQL and MySQL.
• Demonstrated experience in API Development, RESTful APIs, and GraphQL integration.
• Working knowledge of Version Control Systems like Git and GitHub.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or Microsoft Azure.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical capabilities.

• Competitive performance-based annual bonuses and appraisal cycles.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• Sponsored access to leading online technical learning and certification platforms.
• Paid time off, sick leaves, and compassionate leave policies.
• Dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive startup work culture.

You start your morning reviewing server error logs and addressing any overnight latency alerts. Afterward, you dive into developing a new user authentication microservice using Node.js and Express.js. Post-lunch, you collaborate with the data team to optimize a complex PostgreSQL query, ensuring faster response times, before updating your Jira tickets and committing code to GitHub.
