  • Optimize backend services for performance, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production issues in collaboration with DevOps and support teams.
  • Ensure high code quality through automated testing, peer reviews, and CI / CD best practices.
  • Contribute to technical documentation for APIs, services, and data models.
  • Participate in architectural discussions and propose improvements.

Requirements

Required :

  • Strong experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and Express.
  • Solid understanding of REST API design principles and best practices.
  • Proficiency with MySQL and ORM frameworks (preferably Sequelize).
  • Experience with asynchronous programming, error handling, and performance optimization in Node.js.
  • Familiarity with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, or Nomad).
  • Experience with Git-based workflows (GitHub, GitLab, or similar).
  • Nice to Have :

  • Familiarity with PHP / Laravel (for interaction with our legacy platform).
  • Understanding of security best practices for backend services.
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks (Jest, Mocha, Cypress).
  • Exposure to distributed or microservices-based architectures.
  • Benefits

    At Reliance Health, we prioritize our people and their well-being. Our benefits package is designed to support your success, growth, and happiness. Here’s what you’ll enjoy :

  • Remote-First Environment
  • Work from anywhere while staying connected to a vibrant, collaborative team.

  • Meaningful Impact

  • Collaborative Work Culture
  • Join a supportive, inclusive, and team-focused environment that celebrates diversity.

  • Growth Opportunities
  • Access tools, mentorship, and resources to elevate your skills and career.
