Micro Services Engineer Node Js with Typescript

Requirment

• In-depth knowledge of Node.js is essential, as its a key technology for building microservices due to its non-blocking, event-driven architecture.
• Understanding the principles of microservices architecture, including service decomposition, API design, and communication patterns (REST, gRPC, messaging).
• Proficiency in building RESTful APIs and potentially other types of APIs using Node.js and related frameworks like Express.js.
• Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes for deploying and managing microservices.
• Knowledge of working with various databases (SQL and NoSQL) and data storage solutions to support microservices data needs.
• Experience with message brokers like RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, or NATS for asynchronous communication between microservices.
• Understanding service discovery and registration tools like Eureka, Consul, or Kubernetes service discovery.
• Familiarity with API gateway patterns and tools (e.g., NGINX, Kong, or Apigee) for routing, security, and load balancing.
• Proficiency with version control systems like Git to manage and collaborate on codebase.
• Knowledge of testing practices, including unit testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing of microservices.
• Experience in setting up CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, building, and deploying microservices.
• Awareness of microservices security best practices, including authentication, authorization, and data protection.
• Knowledge of monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) and log aggregation systems (e.g., ELK stack) to track the health and performance of microservices.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for deploying microservices in a scalable and cost-effective manner.
• Skills in scripting (e.g., Bash) and automation (e.g., Ansible) for system administration and deployment tasks.
• Understanding of the complete software development life cycle, including requirements gathering, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to diagnose and resolve issues in a distributed microservices environment.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills to work within cross-functional teams, as microservices often involve multiple teams working on different services.
• Knowledge of Agile development practices, as many organizations adopting microservices also use Agile methodologies.
