About AltexSoft

We are looking for a Middle Node.js Developer with a solid PHP background to join one of our clients' projects. In this role, you will work on migrating asynchronous background jobs from a PHP framework to a Node.js and TypeScript stack. You will be involved in building reliable, event-driven services for media processing, improving system observability, and shaping technical decisions around cloud runtime and architecture.

About Project

The project is focused on migrating legacy asynchronous background jobs from an outdated PHP framework to a modern Node.js and TypeScript solution. These jobs support an event-driven platform responsible for media processing tasks such as video handling, audio extraction, and transcription. The goal is to improve maintainability, reliability, and scalability while gradually transitioning core components to a new technology stack.

You Have

  • 3+ years of experience with Node.js and TypeScript, including asynchronous programming, streams, and automated testing
  • Hands-on experience with AWS in event-driven architectures, including SQS, retry strategies, and dead-letter queue patterns, plus familiarity with Lambda or ECS
  • Practical experience using FFmpeg for media processing pipelines
  • Strong knowledge of PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization, and working understanding of MySQL
  • Ability to confidently read and understand PHP code, including Yii v1–based solutions, without actively developing new PHP features
  • Experience working with background jobs, queue consumers, retries, and idempotent processing
  • Clear written and spoken communication skills, with comfort working in a distributed team and overlapping with US time zones 
  • Experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in day-to-day development tasks

Would be a plus

  • Experience with serverless or hybrid media workflows, such as Lambda with EFS or Step Functions
  • Familiarity with Node.js data access libraries and ORMs such as Prisma, TypeORM, or Knex
  • Experience working with S3 and pre-signed URLs for media handling
  • Knowledge of reliable messaging or ingestion platforms beyond basic queue usage
  • Basic experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK
  • Experience building AI-powered solutions or integrating AI pipelines/APIs into software projects
     

You Are Going To

  •  Analyze legacy PHP/Yii v1 background jobs to understand triggers, inputs, outputs, and side effects
  • Design and implement Node.js and TypeScript–based job handlers, including queue consumers, retries, idempotency logic, and DLQ handling
  • Build and maintain FFmpeg-based workflows for video processing, audio extraction, and transcription with proper error handling
  • Develop and maintain data access layers for PostgreSQL while ensuring compatibility with MySQL during the migration phase
  • Implement observability practices, including structured logging, metrics, alerts, and technical documentation for migration playbooks
  • Collaborate with the team on architectural decisions, including runtime selection between serverless and container-based approaches, as well as CI/CD improvements
