Job Overview Job Description — Node.js Developer Software Engineer (5–10 Years of Hands-on Experience in Node.js, TypeScript, Data Migration, and Messaging Systems such as Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ, or similar)

Role Overview As a

Node.js Developer , you will play a key role in the

migration and redesign of several legacy Erlang programs , transforming them into

modern backend APIs built with

Node.js and TypeScript to serve frontend applications and downstream services.

Your Mission Will Focus On

• Analyzing existing Erlang-based services exposing APIs and processing data stored in Riak.
• Redesigning and rewriting these services as scalable, well-structured APIs (REST and/or event-driven) in Node.js / TypeScript.
• Migrating data and access patterns from Riak to more standard AWS-managed databases such as RDS or DocumentDB, including data modeling and performance optimization.
• Ensuring backward compatibility where required, while improving reliability, maintainability, and observability.
• Building APIs optimized for frontend consumption, with clear contracts, performance constraints, and security best practices. You will work within a

cloud-native AWS environment , combining

synchronous APIs with

asynchronous messaging to communicate with other services, using technologies such as

Kafka, SQS, or RabbitMQ . This role is central to the

modernization of the platform , reducing technical debt and enabling future scalability.

Key Responsibilities Analyze existing

Erlang-based services (APIs, data flows, Riak usage) to understand business logic and technical constraints. Design and develop

backend APIs for frontend consumption using

Node.js and (REST and/or BFF patterns). Lead the

migration and refactoring of legacy Erlang programs into maintainable, well-tested Node.js services. Redesign

data models and access patterns , and migrate data from

Riak to

AWS-managed databases such as

RDS or

DocumentDB . Implement

asynchronous communication with other services using

Kafka, SQS, or RabbitMQ , depending on use cases. Ensure API performance, reliability, and scalability in a

cloud-native AWS environment . Implement

security best practices (authentication, authorization, API contracts, rate limiting). Write and maintain

unit, integration, and migration tests to guarantee functional parity and safe deployments. Improve

observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and operational readiness. Actively contribute to

architecture decisions , code reviews, and technical documentation. Participate in

agile ceremonies and collaborate closely with frontend, product, and platform teams.

Your Profile Master’s Degree in Computer Science (or equivalent). 5-10

years of experience in backend development, with strong expertise in

Node.js and TypeScript . Solid experience designing

APIs for frontend applications (REST, BFF, contract-first approaches). Experience working on

legacy system migration or large refactoring projects ; knowledge of

Erlang is a plus but not mandatory. Strong understanding of

data modeling and database migration , ideally from NoSQL systems to

RDS and/or DocumentDB . Hands-on experience with

messaging systems (Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ or similar). Good knowledge of

AWS services and cloud-native architectures. Strong awareness of

backend security concerns (OAuth, JWT, IAM, API security). Strong testing culture: unit, integration, and migration testing. Fluent in

English (mandatory if working remotely or outside France); French is a plus. You are comfortable working in a

transformation context , pragmatic, quality-driven, and enjoy collaborating in small, autonomous teams.

Short Summary We’re contracting a Node.js / TypeScript Developer Join an agile team to lead the

modernization of a backend platform : migrating

legacy Erlang services and Riak databases to

cloud-native APIs on AWS , built with

Node.js and TypeScript . Your work will focus on

backend APIs serving frontend applications , robust

data models on RDS / DocumentDB , and

event-driven communication with other services via

Kafka, SQS, or RabbitMQ .

Tech stack: Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, RDS / DocumentDB, Kafka / SQS / RabbitMQ - API-first, microservices, cloud-native.
