We at Coforge are hiring Position (22562) with the following skill set.
We are seeking a highly experienced Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years of professional experience to join our engineer team. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in backend development, cloud-native solutions on AWS, and the design of large-scale, highly available systems.
This role requires advanced experience building and operating microservices, APIs, and event-driven systems, with a strong focus on backend architecture, system design, and technical leadership. Experience with the Node.js ecosystem is preferred; candidates without Node experience but with a strong background in distributed systems, services, APIs, and backend development who are willing to learn are encouraged to apply. The candidate will define reusable and scalable back-end architectures, drive design decisions, mentor engineers, and deliver high-quality systems at scale.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive reusable, reliable, and scalable back-end architectures across platform and integrations.
- Lead the design, work breakdown, and development of high-performance, API-based backend services that meet service-level objectives (SLOs) and scale with business demand.
- Champion technical excellence by promoting best practices in system design, operational maturity, and engineering quality.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, design, and product partners to align on back-end strategies and standards, improve API and integration consistency, and reduce duplication.
- Serve as a back-end thought leader and mentor, coaching engineers and shaping team- and department-wide best practices.
- Treat components and libraries as products — develop excellent documentation, usage patterns, and internal developer experience (DX).
- Modernize legacy systems and upgrade legacy technology stacks.
- Contribute full-stack as needed, collaborating with backend developers to integrate UIs with APIs.
- Participate in an on-call rotation, providing prompt incident resolution and conducting postmortems to improve system reliability.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.
- 10+ years of experience in backend software development, with a strong focus on designing, building, and operating large-scale and highly available systems, including microservices architectures, APIs, and event-driven systems.
- 3+ years architecting and building cloud-native solutions on AWS, leveraging services such as EKS, RDS, MSK, S3, and Lambda, including deploying, monitoring, and scaling applications in production.
- Strong system design skills with the ability to evaluate trade-offs, drive consensus, and document design decisions effectively.
- Strong experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and gRPC, selecting the most appropriate interface for given technical and business requirements.
- In-depth knowledge of relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB) data stores, caching strategies (Redis), and messaging systems (Kafka), implemented at scale.
- Proven experience building observability into systems using tools like DataDog or OpenTelemetry.
- Understanding of modern application security principles, including secure API design, data encryption, authentication/authorization (OAuth2, JWT), and role-based access control.
- Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, infrastructure as code, and security integration throughout the SDLC.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proven experience mentoring engineers and supporting their growth in technical depth, architecture, and leadership.
- Experience modernizing legacy systems and upgrading legacy technology stacks.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with the Node.js ecosystem.
- Experience with serverless and event-driven architectures.
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Experience working in large-scale or high-availability production environments.
- Experience leading technical initiatives across team boundaries.
