TypeScript/Node.js Architect

Title- TypeScript/Node.js ArchitectLocation: Denver COContractSummary:Mandatory SkillsStrong expertise in TypeScript and Node.jsHands-on experience with:Async/awaitStreamsWorker threadsDeep knowledge of Kafka architecture and tuningRole DescriptionWe 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 ResponsibilitiesArchitect 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 workloadsDefine and enforce data modeling and partitioning strategies for DynamoDBEstablish and optimize caching layers (Redis, ElastiCache, DAX, in-memory caching)Perform profiling and performance tuning across CPU, memory, network, database, and I/ODefine API contracts, message schemas (Avro/JSON), and versioning standardsImplement observability practices (metrics, tracing, structured logging)Collaborate with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and autoscaling strategiesMentor engineering teams on TypeScript best practices and microservice resilience patterns (circuit breaker, retry, backoff)Partner with stakeholders to evolve system architecture aligned with business goalsRequired SkillsTypeScript & Node.js: Advanced expertise including async programming and concurrencyKafka: Architecture, partitioning, consumer groups, rebalancing, offset management, schema evolutionAWS DynamoDB: Data modeling, secondary indexes, TTL, streams, DAX, large-scale designCaching: Redis, Memcached, DAX, CDN edge cachingPerformance Optimization: CPU profiling, async I/O, connection pooling, load testingAPI Design: REST and GraphQL, schema federation, API gatewaysMonitoring Tools: Datadog, Prometheus, CloudWatch, SplunkDevOps Practices: CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), Kubernetes/EKS, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation)RegardsRaahul Bansiwallinkedin.com/in/rahul-b-14b5a4168(2014792186) | Office: (201) 479 2186 EXT: 444rahulb@net2source.comwww.net2source.com270 Davidson Ave, Suite 704, Somerset, NJ 08873, USAKnowledge is Power.
