  • Ensure database security, backup, and disaster recovery requirements are met.
  • Troubleshoot and debug back-end issues and optimize application performance.
  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to best coding practices.

Qualifications :

  • Proven experience as a Backend Web Developer or similar role.
  • Excellent communication skills, especially around articulating technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage technical complexity and lead development delivery across multiple contributors.
  • Demonstrated ability to function as a technical lead or senior engineer overseeing end-to-end delivery
  • Proven experience with multiple and varying technology stacks and a never ending desire to expand and dive into the unknown.

  • Experience with server management tools and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure).
  • Expertise in building and consuming RESTful / GraphQL / RPC / OData APIs.
  • Experience with popular CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal, Craft, etc.).
  • Strong knowledge of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis).
  • Understanding of web security best practices (SSL, encryption, authentication methods).
  • Proficiency with GIT version control.
  • Experience with DevOps tools and CI / CD pipelines.
  • Strong desire to learn new technologies and platforms to best serve project requirements.

    • Benefits and perks :

  • Health Benefits : 100% paid medical premiums for employees, 50% paid for dependents
