Software Engineer | Backend (NodeJS)

Software Engineer | Backend (NodeJS)

• Working Hours: Mon-Fri (Hybrid)
• Location: Central
• Remuneration: Up to $8,000 + AWS

This role focuses on designing and developing secure, scalable backend services that support a cybersecurity platform and operational dashboards used in the maritime domain. You will be responsible for building APIs and integrating data services within a cloud-based environment, with strong attention to security, system performance, and operational reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and deploy backend services that support the cybersecurity platform and related systems.
• Develop well-structured RESTful APIs with clear specifications, versioning strategies, proper documentation, and backward compatibility.
• Implement secure authentication and authorisation mechanisms (e.g., OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC), along with audit logging and secure secrets management.
• Design and develop data access layers, applying strong database principles such as schema design, migrations, and performance optimisation, including graph database integrations (e.g., Neo4j).
• Develop asynchronous or event-driven integrations using messaging or stream-processing technologies where appropriate.
• Follow secure coding standards and implement key security controls such as input validation, encryption, least-privilege access, and dependency management.
• Ensure system reliability and maintainability through observability practices including logging, metrics collection, and distributed tracing.

Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in backend software development.
• Strong hands-on experience building backend systems, APIs, and integrations using modern frameworks such as Java, Spring Framework, Spring Boot, and Python.
• Solid programming fundamentals, including knowledge of concurrency, collections, and performance optimisation.
• Experience designing APIs, backend architectures, and implementing reliable integration patterns.
• Strong experience working with SQL databases and data access patterns; exposure to NoSQL databases and graph databases such as Neo4j is an advantage.
• Proficiency with Git workflows, including feature branching, merging/rebasing, and conflict resolution.
• Familiarity with container technologies and orchestration platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes, as well as cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), is beneficial.
• Experience following secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices.
• Exposure to messaging or stream-processing technologies and observability tools (e.g., distributed tracing, metrics monitoring) is advantageous.
