Back-End Developer (The System Architect)

Introduction :

Are you a back-end mastermind who thrives on solving complex problems and building scalable, high-performance systems? Do you love working behind the scenes, designing server-side logic and databases that power cutting-edge applications?

If you’re passionate about building secure and efficient back-end services that keep applications running smoothly, then our client has the perfect opportunity for you.

We’re looking for a Back-End Developer (aka The System Architect) to create and maintain the backbone of our digital products, ensuring they are robust, secure, and scalable.

As a Back-End Developer at our client , you’ll work on architecting server-side components, designing APIs, and optimizing database performance.

Your work will have a direct impact on the functionality and efficiency of the applications we deliver, enabling smooth user experiences and driving business success.

Key Responsibilities :

• API and Service Development :
• Design, develop, and maintain robust RESTful APIs and services that power web and mobile applications. You’ll ensure these services are scalable, secure, and optimized for performance.
• Database Design and Optimization :
• Architect, manage, and optimize relational and NoSQL databases to store and retrieve data efficiently. You’ll ensure data integrity, security, and availability, working with technologies like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
• Server-Side Logic and Integration :
• Write clean, efficient server-side code to manage business logic, authentication, authorization, and data processing. You’ll integrate with third-party services, cloud platforms, and front-end systems to deliver seamless functionality.
• Performance and Scalability :
• Ensure that back-end services are optimized for high performance and can scale to handle increasing user loads. You’ll identify bottlenecks and improve the performance of queries, APIs, and data storage solutions.
• Collaboration with Front-End Developers :
• Work closely with front-end developers to ensure seamless integration between the front-end and back-end. You’ll provide APIs and services that enable smooth data flow and dynamic interactions.
• Security Best Practices :
• Implement security best practices, including encryption, authentication, authorization, and data protection. You’ll ensure that all back-end components are secure and compliant with relevant industry standards.
• Testing and Debugging :
• Write and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and perform debugging to ensure that back-end services are reliable and bug-free.

You’ll ensure the back-end is resilient and ready for production.
