Role Overview
For our Client, we are looking for a qualified partner for a Senior Backend Engineer to join an international project focused on modernizing, optimizing, and stabilizing a large-scale enterprise platform serving over 1 million users.
The project focuses on improving system performance, reliability, scalability, and software quality while modernizing the existing backend architecture. The technology stack includes Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and React, with the platform running in a Kubernetes environment.
The main technical challenges involve event-driven architecture, advanced search capabilities, Data Lake integration, large-scale data processing, data consistency, and security in a multi-tenant environment.
We are looking for a highly experienced, hands-on engineer who combines strong backend development skills with architectural expertise and can independently identify technical challenges, propose pragmatic solutions, and take ownership of their implementation.
