Role Overview

·      Overall Experience: 7+ years of professional backend engineering experience

·      Core Technology Focus: 3+ years of production experience with TypeScript and GraphQL ecosystems

·      Platform Focus: API Consolidation, Apollo Router Federation, Kubernetes DevOps, Azure DevOps Pipelines

Key Responsibilities

API Consolidation & Apollo Router Federation

·      Consolidate disparate backend services, REST endpoints, and gRPC services into a unified, enterprise-wide federated GraphQL platform.

·      Implement high-performance, type-safe GraphQL subgraphs using TypeScript to abstract backend complexity for front-end consumers.

·      Configure and optimize the Apollo Router for supergraph composition, request routing, and core query execution.

·      Build framework-level middleware, custom directives, and reusable resolvers to ensure consistent data orchestration across business domains.

·      Eliminate data-fetching inefficiencies (like the N+1 problem) across federated networks by implementing advanced batching and Data Loader patterns.

·      Enforce field-level security, schema-based validation, and structured error handling natively within the TypeScript code layer.

Education-Any Graduate

Distributed DevOps & Kubernetes

·      Own the application-level DevOps lifecycle, including creating Docker files, building container images, and debugging pods inside Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

·      Manage Kubernetes application manifests, helm charts, and configurations required to route network traffic smoothly between GraphQL subgraphs and the Apollo Router.

·      Monitor and tune the runtime performance of the federated graph layer under heavy load using cloud monitoring tools.

·      Trace asynchronous requests and troubleshoot latency bottlenecks across our distributed, containerized microservice network.

Infrastructure & CI/CD Automation

·      Build and maintain robust, automated CI/CD pipelines within Azure DevOps to compile, test, and safely deploy subgraph code and Apollo Router configurations.

·      Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates to provision, scale, and manage the cloud environments supporting the platform.

·      Automate federated schema composition checks, breaking-change detection mechanisms, and client-type generation directly within Azure Pipelines.

·      Integrate automated integration and load testing into the release cycle to guarantee zero-downtime framework updates.

Technical Requirements

Required Expertise

·      Languages: Deep mastery of TypeScript and modern backend Node.js runtimes.

·      GraphQL Federation: Direct experience implementing federated GraphQL concepts, schema stitching, or modular subgraphs utilizing Apollo Router in a production environment.

·      Kubernetes DevOps: Strong operational experience deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting application containers inside Kubernetes (AKS preferred).

·      CI/CD Automation: Proven ability to build delivery pipelines and manage container registry workflows using Azure DevOps Pipelines.

·      Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Hands-on experience utilizing IaC methodologies to configure and manage enterprise cloud environments.

·      Azure Environment: Direct experience running application software within the Azure cloud network and connecting to its core managed services.

Core Execution Skills

·      DevOps Mindset: A strong belief that code isn't finished until it is securely built, thoroughly tested, containerized, and running smoothly in production.

·      System Diagnostician: Exceptional skill at digging into container logs, network traces, and cluster metrics to solve real-time platform issues.

·      Reliability Driven: Obsessed with automation, preventing breaking changes in the federated schema, and keeping production systems highly available.
