TypeScript Architect

Title : TypeScript Architect

Location : Denver, CO (onsite only)

Term : Contract

TypeScript Architect with a strong background in event-driven microservices, real-time data pipelines (Kafka), and cloud-native application design.

The ideal candidate will drive the technical architecture for scalable backend systems leveraging TypeScript / Node.js , DynamoDB , Kafka , and advanced caching and performance optimization strategies

Key Responsibilities

• Architect scalable backend systems using TypeScript / Node.js and event-driven patterns (Kafka, SNS / SQS, or equivalent).
• Design and implement streaming and asynchronous processing pipelines for large-scale workloads.
• Define and enforce data modeling and partitioning strategies for DynamoDB to efficiently handle high-write workloads.
• Establish and optimize caching layers (Redis, ElastiCache, DAX, or in-memory caching) for high-performance APIs.
• Perform profiling and performance tuning across the stack (CPU, memory, network, database, I / O).
• Define API contracts, message schemas (Avro / JSON), and versioning standards for inter-service communication.
• Implement observability practices — metrics, tracing, and structured logging — to proactively monitor performance bottlenecks.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to ensure CI / CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation / Terraform), and autoscaling policies support architectural goals.
• Mentor engineering teams on TypeScript best practices, asynchronous programming, and microservice resilience patterns (circuit breaker, retry, backoff, etc.).
• Partner with stakeholders to evolve system architecture in alignment with business growth and product roadmaps.
