Backend Developer

Backend Developer: Design scalable systems, develop APIs, optimize performance, ensure security, manage databases, and collaborate with teams for seamless integration. Description Roles and Responsibilities: System Architecture and Design: • Develop and maintain backend architecture: Design scalable, high-performance systems and APIs that can support multiple web and mobile applications. • Microservices and distributed systems: Implement microservices architecture and ensure efficient communication between services. • Data modeling: Design and maintain databases (relational and nonrelational) ensuring optimal performance, scalability, and data integrity. Backend Development: • Code development: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code in backend technologies such as Node.js, Python, etc. or any other relevant languages. • API development & integration: Develop RESTful and Graph QL APIs, ensuring proper documentation and versioning. • Optimize performance: Continuously work on optimizing backend performance for web and mobile applications to reduce latency and increase response time. • Handle concurrency & scalability: Develop solutions that can handle high traffic and ensure the system scales effectively. Collaboration and Communication: • Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with frontend developers, mobile developers, product managers, and UX/UI designers to ensure seamless integration and smooth product development. • Mentor junior developers: Provide technical leadership, code reviews, and mentorship to junior developers, helping them grow their skills. • Stakeholder communication: Clearly communicate progress, risks, and challenges to management and other stakeholders in the product development process. Database Management: • Database design & optimization: Design and optimize complex SQL or No SQL databases (e.g., My SQL, Postgre SQL, Mongo DB, Maria DB, etc.) and ensure they are reliable and performant. • Data security: Implement strong security protocols for data storage and transmission, ensuring compliance with best practices and regulations (e.g., GDPR, PCI DSS). Dev Ops and Deployment: • Continuous integration & deployment (CI/CD): Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment of backend services. • Cloud infrastructure management: Deploy and manage cloud-based systems (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Cloud Formation). • Monitoring & logging: Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting tools (e.g., Prometheus, ELK Stack, etc.) to track system performance, identify issues, and ensure quick recovery. Security and Compliance: • Data protection & privacy: Ensure the backend systems are secure by implementing best practices for encryption, authentication, and authorization (e.g., OAuth, JWT). • Security audits: Regularly audit code and systems for potential vulnerabilities and enforce robust security protocols across applications. • Compliance with regulations: Ensure the backend systems meet regulatory and compliance requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, or ISO standards depending on the industry. Problem Solving and Debugging: • Troubleshoot production issues: Quickly identify and resolve backend issues affecting web and mobile applications, ensuring minimal downtime. • Optimize and refactor: Continuously refactor existing code and processes to improve system performance and reliability. • Technical debt management: Work on reducing technical debt by improving legacy code, enhancing system reliability, and ensuring maintainability. Automation and Testing: • Unit & integration testing: Write comprehensive unit and integration tests to ensure the robustness of backend services. • Test-driven development (TDD): Implement TDD practices to ensure code quality and reliability. • Automated performance testing: Set up automated tools for load and performance testing to ensure backend systems are prepared for high traffic scenarios. Version Control & Documentation: • Version control: Use version control systems (e.g., Git, Git Hub, Git Lab) to manage codebases, ensuring proper branching, merging, and collaboration practices are followed. • Documentation: Create and maintain detailed technical documentation for backend services, APIs, and system architecture to ensure transparency and ease of maintenance. Innovation & Continuous Improvement: • Research & development: Stay updated on the emerging backend technologies, frameworks, and best practices, and integrate them into the product roadmap where beneficial. • Continuous improvement: Participate in regular retrospectives and team meetings to identify areas for improvement in processes, technology, and collaboration. Key Skills & Competencies: • Proficiency in backend programming languages (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java, etc.). • Strong experience with relational and non-relational databases. • Expertise in API design and development (REST, Graph QL). • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and CI/CD pipelines. • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design. • Familiarity with Dev Ops practices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
