Backend Developer (Fullstack) NodeJS + Javascript

Backend Developer (JavaScript / Node.js)

C++ knowledge is a plus

About the Company and the Project

We are looking for a strong backend developer ready to tackle non-standard challenges at the intersection of web technologies, video stream processing, cryptographic protection, and geographic information systems — requiring not only an understanding of business logic but also of how processes interact inside the system. The project involves working with distributed systems and security-sensitive data transmission channels.

Mandatory Requirements

• Commercial experience in JavaScript (Node.js) development — 3+ years
• Experience designing and building backend services from scratch, as well as maintaining existing ones
• Understanding of asynchronous programming (promises, async/await, event loop)
• Experience with databases (SQL/NoSQL)
• Knowledge of networking fundamentals (HTTP/HTTPS, WebSockets, TCP/UDP)

Nice to Have

• C++ knowledge (for writing native modules, optimizing critical code sections, or integrating with low-level libraries)
• Additional Skills (will be your advantage)
• Video signal processing (streaming video, knowledge of codecs, containers, protocols like RTSP/WebRTC, experience with FFmpeg, GStreamer, or similar tools)
• IPC (Inter-Process Communication): understanding of mechanisms (sockets, message queues, shared memory, named pipes, gRPC, DBus), experience in debugging and designing inter-process interaction
• AUTH 2.0 (OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect): experience implementing authorization and authentication, working with tokens (JWT, refresh tokens), integration with Identity Providers, secure session storage
• Cryptographic protection of communication channels (TLS/SSL, on‑the‑fly encryption, working with certificates, implementing secure transfer protocols, understanding symmetric and asymmetric cryptography)
• Understanding of microservice architecture basics (service interaction via REST/gRPC/message brokers, containerization with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes — basic level)
• Experience with mapping services (map integration, working with geodata, GeoJSON formats)

Responsibilities

• Development and maintenance of high‑load backend services in Node.js
• Integration of video signal processing modules (possibly using C++ addons)
• Implementation of cryptographic protection for communication channels between services and clients
• Integration of mapping data and creation of APIs for geoinformation handling
• Writing technical documentation

Terms

• Official registration
• Hybrid work format (located in Riga, Latvia)
