Backend Engineer | DevOps & Infrastructure

Remote - KSA

Architected and deployed message-queue-based microservices (Kafka/RabbitMQ) to decouple service dependencies, boosting system resilience and enabling independent scaling of high-load components. Built high-performance RESTful APIs using NestJS and TypeScript — secured with JWT/OAuth 2.0 authentication, designed for horizontal scalability, and integrated with CI/CD pipelines for zero-downtime releases. Configured Prometheus and Grafana monitoring dashboards for production microservices — established alerting rules for API latency thresholds and container anomalies, reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) incidents.
