NodeJS developer ( Contract)

Created on 11-06-2019
Location London

Description

We’re looking for a contractor to help us with an integration into a 3rd party service via a REST API. We have an existing solution using AWS lambdas in native Javascript that we’d like to port to a node service. It’s a clean solution with full test coverage, features you’ll need to retain! The service will need to be ported to Node and deployed using Docker on our Kubernetes infrastructure. As such, experience with nodeJS is a prerequisite and experience with docker highly desirable. You may need to port the (abstracted) database implementation from DynamoDB, although no data migration is required.


You’ll need to be a good communicator, coordinating with our platform team to determine how to integrate logging, and how to manage the deployment pipeline.


Once we have our first integration live, you’ll work with our product marketing team to extend the integration.


A bit about you:


  • You’re passionate about technology, product and user experience - customers are at the heart of what you do and that empathy drives your decisions
  • You have an understanding of Scrum and Agile development
  • Your confident working independently and can plan your own solutions to problems
  • Strong nodejs developer with some experience of docker & circleci.

Some extra skills that would be awesome:


  • You have a broad understanding of the concept of minimum viable product (MVP) and conversion rates
  • You might already be a customer :)

A bit about our tech:


On the back end we are working on distributed architecture which is based on Java microservices, using Netflix OSS tools and other distributed technologies like Kafka, Zookeeper, Spring Cloud. While on the front end we are writing microapps using React and AngularJS.
