Design and implement scalable RESTful APIs using Node.js for a decentralized knowledge graph. Ensure robust data handling, authentication, and integration with frontend services to support information retrieval.

Origin Trail is pioneering decentralized supply chain solutions, and your role as Backend API Developer will be crucial in building the APIs that power our knowledge graph.

Core Tasks:

• Develop server-side logic using Node.js and Express.
• Design database schemas with MongoDB or PostgreSQL.
• Implement JWT authentication and rate limiting.
• Optimize queries for high-throughput scenarios.
• Integrate with blockchain oracles for data verification.

This certified remote position spans 9 months, requiring Node.js Advanced certification to ensure you're equipped for our sophisticated backend needs. You'll work on APIs that handle terabytes of supply chain data, learning about graph databases like Neo4j for complex relationships.

Our stack includes Docker for containerization and AWS for deployment, with agile sprints focused on iterative improvements. Regular code reviews foster best practices, and you'll collaborate with data scientists on AI-enhanced queries.

Beyond technical work, understand domain-specific challenges like traceability in food logistics. This role offers insights into how APIs enable trustless systems, blending traditional dev with emerging tech.

Expect bi-weekly demos to showcase progress and gather feedback. Your contributions will directly impact global trade efficiency, reducing waste through better data flows. Advance your career in backend engineering with a forward-thinking team at Origin Trail.
