Summary

NO C2C or VISA SPONSORSHIP

We’re looking for a Software Developer to help build and maintain a Node.js-based web application that serves as a core data source for business-critical functions. You’ll work across both backend and frontend web development, creating reliable services and responsive user experiences.

This is a contract to hire opportunity that offers a hybrid work schedule and is located in the Columbus, OH area.

During development downtime, you’ll also contribute to data engineering tasks — building data pipelines, integrations, and internal automation tools.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys full-stack web development, values clean and maintainable systems, and is comfortable collaborating directly with stakeholders to shape software solutions. You should also be comfortable working in a startup environment, where priorities evolve, ownership is shared, and rapid problem-solving is part of daily work.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain backend services for a Node.js web application
Develop and maintain frontend web interfaces
Implement low-latency AJAX and asynchronous client-server workflows
Design and work with databases, schemas, and queries
Work with SQL Server, Oracle SQL, and Cosmos DB (NoSQL) data systems
Build and maintain data pipelines, integrations, RPA bots, and internal data tools
Automate data processing and reporting tasks
Write clean, testable, well-documented code
Participate in project planning, task estimation, and progress tracking
Consult with users and stakeholders to gather requirements and refine features
Troubleshoot and support production systems
Adapt to shifting priorities and contribute where needed in a growing startup environment

Required Qualifications

Strong experience with Node.js, Express, and JavaScript
Ability to write, maintain, and debug vanilla JavaScript without the use of frameworks or libraries
Experience building and consuming backend web services and APIs
Experience with frontend web development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap (preferably Bootstrap 5)
Familiarity building and optimizing low-latency AJAX and asynchronous workflows
Experience working with relational and NoSQL databases
Comfortable using Git-based version control and CI/CD pipelines (preferably Azure DevOps)
Ability to communicate with non-technical users to gather requirements
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving startup environment

Nice-to-Have Skills

Familiarity with cloud platforms (preferably Azure)
Familiarity with cloud-based microservices
Experience building internal tools or automation scripts
Experience with data engineering or ETL pipelines
Exposure to analytics or reporting systems
