Backend / Cloud Engineer

Backend / Cloud Engineer Overview: Design and manage the decentralized data lake and global replication infrastructure for eventual consistency at the edge. Manage the GovCloud-equivalent infrastructure. The stack is predominantly Node.js but uses Go for high-performance data replication. Years of Experience: 6+ years in Backend/Distributed Systems. Detailed Responsibilities: Build and maintain the core API services in Node.js (TypeScript). Deploy and optimize distributed data stores (e.g., Ditto) for eventual consistency across intermittently connected nodes. Build and manage translation bridges (dGDX) for secure data flow between edge nodes and legacy central infrastructure. Maintain cloud-side infrastructure (AWS/Azure) with a focus on data integrity and high availability. Implement & manage robust CI/CD pipelines for deploying microservices to tactical nodes. Technical Requirements: Expertise in distributed databases and CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types). Strong proficiency in Node.js, Go. Advanced Kubernetes and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Ansible) skills. Good to Have: Experience with "Big Peer" or similar peer-to-peer data synchronization architectures. Knowledge of data interoperability standards (JSON-LD, Protobuf).
