About the company
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.
