Designing and building APIs and microservices, managing database schemas and queries, implementing authentication and security protocols, optimising system performance, writing backend tests, and collaborating with frontend and infrastructure teams.
Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages (Python, Java, Go, Node.js, etc.), solid database experience (SQL and/or NoSQL), REST and/or GraphQL API design experience, and familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Experience with high-throughput or distributed systems is valuable for scaling organisations.
Backend engineers with both strong API design skills and genuine database optimisation experience are rarer than they appear — test for both in technical screening rather than relying on resume claims.
