We are hiring a certified Node.js developer to build the backend for a real-time collaborative application. You will use technologies like WebSockets (with Socket.IO) to enable real-time communication between clients. This role involves designing a scalable backend architecture to handle many concurrent connections and synchronizing state across clients. You will be building a cutting-edge application that relies on low-latency communication. Strong Node.js and WebSocket skills are essential.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on a next-generation collaborative tool. As our Node.js Real-time Developer, you will be responsible for building the server-side infrastructure that powers our real-time features. You will be solving interesting challenges related to state management, concurrency, and scalability.

Core Technical Challenges:

• Design and implement a WebSocket-based communication protocol between the server and clients.
• Build a scalable architecture that can handle a large number of persistent connections.
• Manage and synchronize application state across all connected clients in real-time.
• Implement features such as presence indicators, real-time editing, and live updates.
• Ensure the backend is secure, reliable, and performant.
• Write tests to validate the real-time functionality.

Our Ideal Candidate:

We are looking for a developer who is passionate about real-time technologies and has hands-on experience with WebSockets. You should have a deep understanding of the challenges involved in building real-time systems. This is a role for a creative problem-solver who is excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the web. Your work will be at the very core of our product's unique value proposition.
