The Node.js Developer Expert will leverage a deep understanding of asynchronous programming and modern "headless" stacks to resolve technical challenges that affect application performance, scalability, and uptime. This position ensures Cloudways' customers can deploy and scale advanced application workloads with high-level expertise, reducing reliance on external developers.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve asynchronous execution issues, including promise rejections and callback hell.

Headless & Performance Optimization :

  • Runtime Tuning : Fine-tune Node.js memory limits and garbage collection settings for optimal server utilization.
  • API Performance : Optimize API (REST and GraphQL API) response times and data fetching strategies.
  • Object Cache Configuration : Implement and optimize Redis or Memcached for session management and application caching.
  • Security & Hardening :

  • Application Security : Implement best practices for JWT, OAuth, and environment variable management.
  • Vulnerability Scanning : Identify and resolve vulnerabilities within the Node.js package ecosystem (npm audit).
  • Ensure applications follow security best practices to protect against injections.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Training :

  • SME Escalations : Handle advanced issues escalated by support engineers, providing detailed root cause analysis (RCA).
  • Customer Developer Collaboration : Work with customer development teams to identify and implement application-level fixes.
  • Internal Team Training : Conduct technical workshops on Node.js, Headless CMS, and latest stack trends for support engineers.
  • Key Metrics : (optional)

  • First Contact Resolution (FCR)
  • Average Handle Time (AHT)
  • Ticket Backlog
  • Mentorship contributions
  • What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean :

  • Education : BS / BE in Computer Science / Engineering or related field.
  • Experience : 4–5 years of relevant experience in Node.js development or high-level technical support for modern JS stacks.
  • Core Technical Skills :
  • Performance Tools : Familiarity with Redis, Varnish, Cloudflare, and monitoring tools (New Relic, Datadog etc).
  • Interpersonal Skills : Strong written and verbal communication for customer collaboration, with an empathetic approach to support.
  • Availability : Ability to work effectively in a 24 / 7 environment with rotating shifts, including nights and weekends.
