Senior backend engineer building secure, scalable Node.js microservices and REST APIs for fintech and SaaS platforms
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years designing scalable backend applications, REST APIs, and distributed microservices in Node.js, TypeScript, and Python. I bring hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis across high-traffic, regulated platforms where data integrity, audit trails, and access control are critical.
In my recent role, I designed and maintained backend services and APIs for high-volume financial workflows, reducing production failure rates by 25% while implementing JWT authentication, RBAC, encrypted transmission, and compliance-grade audit logging. I’ve also improved system performance by 40% through PostgreSQL query optimisation, Redis caching, and refactoring to async event-driven architecture, and I’ve delivered 99.9% uptime across 12+ distributed backend services while improving throughput by 30% and cutting release cycle time by 40%.
I’m at my best when I combine system design, performance optimisation, and strong engineering practices—code reviews, mentoring, and Agile/Scrum. I enjoy working in environments that require secure, high-performance systems and disciplined testing (TDD/unit/integration/E2E) using Jest, Mocha, and Chai, with Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD automation on AWS and Azure.
