We are seeking a developer for a 3-week project to write several server-side scripts for integrating third-party APIs. You will use Node.js to fetch data from various external sources, transform it into a required format, and then load it into our client's database. This role requires experience with making HTTP requests, handling asynchronous operations, and basic data manipulation. You will be provided with API documentation and clear requirements for the data transformation logic. This is a straightforward backend task ideal for a developer comfortable with Node.js and external integrations.

This is a well-defined, short-term project focused entirely on backend API integration. The goal is to build a set of standalone Node.js scripts that will run on a schedule to synchronize data between our client's system and several external service providers.

Project Details:

• You will be provided with access keys and documentation for 3-4 different REST APIs.
• Your primary task is to write Node.js scripts to connect to these APIs, authenticate, and fetch specific data endpoints.
• You will need to implement logic to handle API responses, including pagination and error handling.
• The fetched data must be transformed and mapped to a predefined JSON structure.
• Finally, the transformed data will be inserted or updated in a PostgreSQL database. You will be given the database schema and connection details.
• The scripts should be well-structured, include comments, and be easy to maintain.

This project is perfect for a developer who enjoys working on the backend and is proficient with the Node.js ecosystem. You should be comfortable using libraries like axios for HTTP requests and pg for database interactions. The focus is on creating reliable and efficient scripts that can be automated. You will work independently but will have a point of contact for any questions regarding the API documentation or data requirements.

• 1-2 years of experience with Node.js.
• Proficiency in modern JavaScript (async/await).
• Experience consuming RESTful APIs.
• Basic knowledge of SQL and experience with a database like PostgreSQL.
• Ability to work independently and manage your time effectively.

• Clearly defined scope and deliverables.
• Opportunity to work with multiple third-party APIs.
• Enhance your backend scripting and data handling skills.
• Fully remote and autonomous working environment.
