Intermediate Software Engineer (12-Month Contract) at RSAWEB

Where will the successful candidate fit in?

• Join our dynamic, forward-thinking engineering team to help design, build, and maintain a suite of microservice‑based applications from end‑to‑end. You’ll build APIs and front-end integrations, working across Node.js, Express.js, and modern JavaScript frameworks. You’ll be an experienced developer capable of solving complex problems and thinking systemically. You’ll write fault-tolerant, scalable, readble code with excellent test coverage as part of an agile team. This is an 12 month long contract role.

What You’ll Do

• Build Microservices: Develop and maintain scalable, secure microservice APIs using Node.js & Express.js.
• Front‑End Integration: Implement and integrate Vue.js (or similar Node‑based UI frameworks) components into full‑stack features.
• Collaborate: Work closely with BAs, QAs, and product owners to clarify requirements and deliver high‑quality software.
• Code Quality: Write clean, well‑tested (unit & integration) code; participate in peer code reviews.
• DevOps & CI/CD: Contribute to our CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Git workflows, automated deployments) and containerization (Docker).
• Troubleshoot & Support: Monitor application health, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with seniors on complex problems.

Requirements

• 3+ years’ experience with Node.js and Express.js in production environments.
• Proven ability to design and build microservice architectures (RESTful APIs, message queues, containerized services).
• Excellent JavaScript coding skills, particularly working with Express.js.
• Hands‑on experience with a Node.js‑based front‑end framework (Vue.js preferred; React, Angular, or similar also valued).
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals: data structures, design patterns, and version control (Git).
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and participation in ceremonies (stand‑ups, sprint planning, retrospectives).
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Exposure to Kubernetes or other orchestration tools.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
• Background in TDD/BDD or automated testing frameworks.
