Position : Technical Lead (Node.JS)

Location : Dallas, TX (Onsite)

Duration : 12+ Months

The Digital API team is looking for a hands-on Tech Lead with deep Node.js / TypeScript expertise to design and deliver domain-driven microservices for customer-facing digital experiences. You'll own greenfield builds from zero-to-production, lead engineers by example (coding ~70% of the time), and drive cross-team triage while keeping leadership proactively informed.

What You'll Do

  • Design & build domain-driven, event-aware microservices in Node.js / TypeScript (Express / Fastify / NestJS) with clean, testable code.
  • Architect greenfield systems : service boundaries, data models, REST APIs, event streams, CI / CD, observability, and runtime topology.
  • Set API standards : versioning, OpenAPI / Swagger, pagination, error contracts, resiliency patterns (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers).
  • Own production readiness : SLOs, dashboards, alerting, runbooks; lead incident triage / bridge calls and drive blameless RCAs.
  • Collaborate across teams (web, mobile, data, security, ops) to unblock work, sequence dependencies, and land integrated releases.
  • Communicate proactively with leadership : crisp status, risk / mitigation, dependencies, and measurable outcomes.
  • Raise the bar : code reviews, engineering best practices, mentoring, pair programming, tech talks, and documentation.
  • Think two steps ahead : anticipate edge cases, scaling, operability, and cost; recommend pragmatic sequencing and trade-offs.

Tech Stack You'll Work With

  • Languages / Frameworks : Node.js, TypeScript, Express / Fastify / NestJS
  • APIs : REST, OpenAPI / Swagger, OAuth2 / OIDC, JWT
  • Data : PostgreSQL / MySQL, NoSQL (MongoDB / DynamoDB), Redis cache
  • Messaging / Streaming : Kafka / RabbitMQ (sagas, outbox, idempotency)
  • Cloud & Platform : One major cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP), Docker, Kubernetes, API Gateway / Ingress, IaC (Terraform / CloudFormation)
  • CI / CD & Observability : GitHub Actions / Jenkins, ELK / Dynatrace, feature flags, OpenTelemetry, Datadog / New Relic / Prometheus, log aggregation

    • What You'll Bring

  • 8+ years backend engineering (or equivalent impact), 3+ years technical leadership on product teams.
  • Expert-level Node.js / TypeScript with proven delivery of domain-driven microservices at scale.
  • Strong grasp of DDD (entities / aggregates / bounded contexts), event-driven architectures, and microservice patterns (saga, outbox, circuit breaker).
  • Designed secure, resilient public APIs used by web / mobile clients; deep understanding of authN / authZ (OAuth2 / OIDC), secrets, and TLS.
  • Production experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native deployment, CI / CD, and observability (metrics, traces, logs, SLOs).
  • Demonstrated success leading triage / incident response and driving RCAs to lasting improvements.
  • Outstanding communication-able to simplify complex trade-offs, tell a delivery story, and keep partners aligned.
  • Bias for action : you go the extra mile, anticipate the "next two steps," and ship high-quality software.

    • Nice to Have

  • Experience in telecom (ordering, provisioning, billing, identity) or large consumer digital platforms.
  • API gateways (Apigee / Kong), rate limiting / quotas, multi-tenant patterns.
  • Performance tuning, capacity planning, and cost optimization in cloud environments.
