At Source Meridian, we’re looking for a Lead Node.js Developer to set the technical direction for a squad building cloud-native, event-driven services using Node.js and AWS (Lambda & ECS). If you thrive on writing elegant code, scaling micro-services, and lifting team performance, we’d love to meet you!

Role Overview

As our Lead Developer, you will lead end-to-end delivery—from technical design and coding standards to CI/CD pipelines—while mentoring engineers and collaborating closely with Product, DevOps, and QA teams.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience.
• 3+ years working with Node.js at scale.
• Proven record leading Agile teams (as a tech lead or senior/staff developer).
• Deep AWS experience—Lambda, ECS, API Gateway, EventBridge, IAM.
• Strong understanding of microservices, REST/GraphQL APIs, async messaging, and serverless patterns.
• Solid experience with automated testing (Jest, Mocha), static analysis, and performance profiling.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (CDK, SAM, or Terraform) and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Advanced English—excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  
  

Nice-to-Have

• TypeScript mastery.
• Experience with domain-driven design, event sourcing, or CQRS.
• Familiarity with containers on Kubernetes (EKS) and service meshes.
• Exposure to data streaming (Kafka, Kinesis) and real-time architectures.
• Security-first mindset (OWASP, AWS security best practices).
• Experience integrating with CRMs.
  
  

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

• Define coding conventions, review pull requests, and ensure architectural alignment.
• Break down epics into actionable tasks; estimate, assign, and track progress.
• Drive continuous improvement in test automation, code quality, and performance.
  
  

Hands-On Development

• Design and implement Node.js services (TypeScript preferred) following SOLID/DDo principles.
• Build serverless functions in AWS Lambda; containerize services for ECS (Fargate/EC2).
• Integrate with API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, and DynamoDB/RDS.
  
  

Agile Delivery

• Partner with the Product Owner to refine user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Facilitate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and daily stand-ups.
• Track velocity, manage technical debt, and proactively unblock the team.
  
  

DevOps & Observability

• Own CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / CodePipeline) and Infrastructure-as-Code (AWS CDK or Terraform).
• Instrument services for observability using CloudWatch, X-Ray, and OpenTelemetry.
  
  

Mentoring & Growth

• Coach junior and mid-level developers through pair programming and knowledge-sharing.
• Promote a culture of code ownership, high standards, and psychological safety.
  
  

Stakeholder Communication

• Present technical concepts and trade-offs in advanced English to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
