Position Summary At CVS, we’re building out the API Platform to enable teams across CVS Digital to quickly and easily deliver experiences into the hands of our customers, all at the scale of a Fortune 6 company! The API Platform will be leveraged by hundreds of engineers across CVS Health building sites used by millions of customers. We are looking for a Staff Software Development Engineer Backend Node.js to lead the technical direction of an API platform that helps teams design, manage, and deploy APIs across gateway environments. This role is responsible for backend architecture, platform reliability, workflow orchestration, API design, and engineering standards across a TypeScript‑based monorepo. You will work across GraphQL services, workflow systems, database‑backed backend services, gateway integrations, and internal platform tooling. The Staff Software Development Engineer Backend Node.js should be comfortable operating as a senior technical leader: setting architecture, making pragmatic tradeoffs, mentoring engineers, improving delivery quality, and driving clarity in ambiguous areas. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys platform engineering, internal developer products, API management, and backend systems that sit close to infrastructure and runtime concerns.
What You’ll Do
Lead backend architecture across core services, shared platform packages, and workflow‑driven backend systems
Own the design and evolution of GraphQL APIs, service boundaries, data contracts, and typed backend integrations
Drive development of backend services built with TypeScript, Node.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, and workflow orchestration technologies
Shape and improve systems that provision, configure, and integrate with API gateways and related platform infrastructure
Define patterns for service reliability, observability, security, authentication, and operational readiness
Guide schema design, data access strategy, migrations, and long‑term maintainability of relational data models
Improve engineering standards through code review, technical design reviews, testing strategy, and mentoring
Partner closely with frontend engineers, product teams, and platform stakeholders to ensure backend capabilities support the full product workflow
Identify architectural risks, reduce knowledge silos, and create scalable patterns for a growing engineering organization
Contribute to a culture of strong ownership, high‑quality delivery, and pragmatic technical leadership
Required Qualifications
7+ years of software engineering experience, including significant backend and platform engineering experience in production environments
Strong expertise in TypeScript and modern Node.js backend development
Proven experience designing and operating backend APIs at scale, especially GraphQL‑based platforms
Strong experience with backend frameworks such as Fastify, Express, NestJS, or similar, with an ability to make sound architectural tradeoffs
Direct experience with API gateway technologies such as Kong, Apigee, or Azure API Management
Deep experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases, including schema design, migrations, performance tuning, and data modeling
Hands‑on experience with distributed workflows, asynchronous orchestration, or job‑processing systems such as Temporal or similar platforms
Strong understanding of authentication and authorization patterns, including OAuth, OIDC, JWTs, and service‑to‑service security
Experience implementing observability practices including tracing, structured logging, metrics, and production diagnostics
Experience working in containerized environments and modern backend delivery workflows using Docker and CI/CD pipelines
Demonstrated ability to lead technical direction, mentor engineers, and influence architecture across teams
Strong testing instincts, especially around integration testing, backend correctness, and reliable release practices
Experience working effectively in a monorepo or multi‑service platform environment
Preferred Qualifications
Experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, or API management products
Experience working with OpenAPI‑driven systems, specification validation, or spec‑based platform workflows
Familiarity with GraphQL code generation and strongly typed API contract workflows
Experience with cloud‑agnostic platform design and multi‑environment backend integration patterns
Experience working in large enterprise or regulated environments where reliability, auditability, and security are critical
Familiarity with modern monorepo tooling such as pnpm workspaces, Turborepo, and repository‑wide code quality tooling
Experience partnering closely with frontend teams on product workflows that depend on backend platform capabilities
Education
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience (Highschool diploma plus 4 years relevant work experience)
