Role summary

As an AMTS Backend Engineer, you will design, build, and operate Node.js/Express services that power internal workflows and automation. You'll use Redis for performance and state management, MongoDB and PostgreSQL for data modeling and transaction needs, DynamoDB for high-scale, low-latency access patterns, and apply foundational AWS concepts to deploy, secure, and observe services in production.

Key responsibilities

. Design, implement, and maintain RESTful APIs and microservices using Node.js and Express

. Implement caching, rate-limiting, background jobs, and workflow state management using Redis

. Model and optimize data across polyglot storage:

o MongoDB for flexible schemas and aggregation

o PostgreSQL for relational models, transactions, and complex queries

o DynamoDB for high-throughput, key-value and document access patterns with GSIs/LSIs

. Ensure code quality through testing (unit/integration), code reviews, and CI/CD practices

. Implement observability with structured logging, metrics, and tracing to support reliable operations

. Embed security and compliance fundamentals: authentication/authorization, secrets management, and least-privilege access
