About the System:
Velocity is built as a cloud-first microservices architecture programmed primarily with TypeScript, running in a Node.js run-time environment, using molecular microservices framework, Docker containers, Kubernetes container orchestration, PostgreSQL database, Redis cache, and NATS messaging system. We've also created some proprietary tools to help us build web screens and orchestrate service calls. One of those tools was built using React. We use GitHub for source code management, and Datadog for system monitoring.
We need to hire several contract and contract to hire developers...some junior, many mid-level and several senior level. Qualified candidates are US Citizens or Permanent Residents of the US. All candidates must reside in the United States.
