What are the responsibilities and job description for the Node. JS Lead Developer - Dallas, TX position at CA-One Tech Cloud Inc.?
Job Details
Role: Tech Lead - Node.js
Location: Dallas, TX (Onsite)
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/Google Cloud Platform), 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).
- 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.
