About the Role
Join our dynamic, forward-thinking engineering team to lead the architectural design and implementation of our next-generation billing, finance, and debt-management platform. Bringing a strong knowledge of how people use computer systems you’ll craft world-class Node.js applications—defining standards, frameworks, and best practices to ensure scalability, maintainability, and fault tolerance across our microservices landscape. This is a 12-month long contract role.
What You’ll Do
Full-Stack Development: Architect and implement both back-end microservices (Node.js/Express.js) and front-end applications (Vue.js or similar), delivering cohesive features from database to browser.
UI/UX & HCI Leadership: Design and validate user interfaces with a strong grounding in human–computer interaction principles, wireframing flows, optimizing accessibility (WCAG), and ensuring responsive, performant experiences.
API & Component Design: Define RESTful and event-driven APIs alongside reusable UI component libraries that promote consistency, scalability, and ease of use.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product designers, UX researchers, QA engineers, and DevOps to translate user needs into polished, reliable software.
Quality & Testing: Build comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests covering both front-end (e.g., Jest, Cypress) and back-end layers, with a focus on usability and error handling.
Mentorship & Reviews: Guide engineers on full-stack best practices, conduct paired design/code reviews, and evangelize design-system thinking.
Delivery & Iteration: Drive agile ceremonies, estimate work holistically (UI + API), and manage releases—ensuring seamless coordination between front-end and back-end teams.
Requirements
5+ years’ professional experience with Node.js and Express.js in production.
Strong front-end expertise with Vue.js (or React/Angular), including component design, state management, and performance optimization.
Demonstrated understanding of UI/UX fundamentals and HCI research methods—experience with wireframing tools (Figma, Sketch) and usability testing.
Solid grasp of accessibility standards (WCAG), responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility.
Proven ability to own full-stack features: designing database schemas, APIs, UI components, and ensuring end-to-end observability.
Excellent communication skills—comfortable presenting design proposals, architectural diagrams, and user-flow mockups to diverse audiences.
Experience driving CI/CD pipelines that include front-end build steps, automated UI tests, and back-end deployments.
Nice To Have
Prior work building design systems or component libraries.
Familiarity with server-side rendering (Preferably Vue.js).
Background in performance profiling tools (Lighthouse, WebPageTest).
Experience with cloud-based hosting.
