Senior Backend Integration Engineer (Node.js)- English Required

Location: Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia

Workplace: remote

Description

About DaCodes

At DaCodes, we build high-impact software solutions for startups and global companies across LATAM and the U.S. We work with senior teams who value ownership, technical excellence, and high-quality engineering standards.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong focus on integrations, capable of designing, implementing, and maintaining robust, scalable, and secure backend systems, primarily using Node.js, APIs, and event-driven architectures.

This is not a low-code configuration role. It requires deep understanding of backend engineering, protocols, concurrency, and security.

Why this role is interesting

• Work on complex backend systems and real-world integrations (SaaS, APIs, ERPs)
• Solve challenges around scalability, reliability, and distributed systems
• Collaborate with a highly senior team with strong technical ownership
• Work directly with U.S.-based clients and products with real impact

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement robust backend integrations across multiple systems (SaaS, APIs, internal services)
• Build and maintain secure, scalable REST APIs
• Design and operate event-driven systems (webhooks, async processing, retries, idempotency)
• Implement authentication and authorization flows:
• OAuth2 (authorization code, client credentials)
• JWT (token validation, security considerations)
• API Keys / HMAC when needed
• Handle real-world integration challenges:
• duplicated events
• out-of-order data
• partial failures
• Debug and resolve production issues across distributed systems
• Ensure proper logging, monitoring, and error handling
• Participate in technical decision-making and trade-offs

Requirements

4+ years of backend experience

Strong experience with Node.js (deep understanding of async I/O and event loop behavior)

Solid understanding of HTTP protocol and API design

Proven experience designing and operating webhooks in production, including:

• idempotency handling
• retries and failure recovery
• event deduplication

Experience implementing OAuth2 flows, including:

• authorization code
• client credentials
• token lifecycle and refresh tokens

Strong understanding of JWT beyond basic usage (signing, validation, security implications)

Experience working with production systems under real constraints

What We’re Looking For

You should be comfortable working in environments where:

• Systems communicate through events and asynchronous processes
• Data may arrive duplicated, delayed, or inconsistent
• Integrations fail and need to be retried safely
• You are responsible for debugging real production issues across services

Nice to Have

• Experience with iPaaS platforms (Mulesoft, Workato, Boomi)
• Experience integrating with ERPs (NetSuite, SAP, Business Central)
• Experience with queues, background jobs, or messaging systems
• CI/CD experience
• Experience in high-concurrency environments
