We are looking for a Node.js / Java Developer to join our Client Platforms team. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience developing backend APIs and middle-tier services using Node.js, along with solid Java development experience.

Important: This role requires approximately 80% Node.js and 20% Java experience. Node.js experience must be focused on backend/API development — this is NOT a frontend development role.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain backend APIs and middle-tier services using Node.js, TypeScript, Java, and related technologies.
• Collaborate with PMO, Development, Product Management, Business, Technical Operations, Infrastructure, Networks, and Architecture teams.
• Design and implement scalable, secure, and high-performing RESTful APIs and web services.
• Review architectural diagrams, technical specifications, business requirements, and design documents.
• Work with existing technologies including Java, C++, Linux/Unix, open-source platforms, and SOA, while supporting next-generation solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business and technical requirements.
• Develop a strong understanding of financial products, services, processes, and organizational structures.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to other software developers.
• Participate in continuous integration, deployment, testing, and production support activities.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of software development experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with Node.js for backend/API development.
• Approximately 80% Node.js / 20% Java experience.
• Strong understanding of software development principles, design patterns, code structure, CI/CD, and deployment practices.
• Hands-on experience with:
• Node.js
• TypeScript
• Core Java
• Spring Framework / Spring Boot
• Spring Integration
• Kafka
• ActiveMQ
• Experience developing REST APIs / Web Services using REST, SOAP, JSON, and related technologies.
• Experience with Java server technologies such as J2EE and Servlets.
• Experience with Tomcat and Maven.
• Experience with at least one database such as Oracle, DB2, Sybase, or similar.
• Experience with Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).
• Strong understanding of object-oriented programming, design patterns, and software development methodologies.
• Strong knowledge of API design principles, scalability, extensibility, and portability.

Preferred

• Experience working in financial services or banking environments.
• Experience with Linux/Unix environments.
• Experience working with enterprise-scale applications and integration platforms.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills.

Key Requirement: Candidates should be primarily backend Node.js/API developers, with approximately 20% Java experience. Frontend-focused Node.js developers will not be a fit.
