  • Experience with Continuous Integration concepts and tools.
  • Experience with version control using Git.
  • Comfortable with agile methodologies, JIRA, and other project workflow tools.

  • Ability to debug and troubleshoot issues in backend services and web applications.
  • Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
  • Experience working remotely with a distributed team.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop secure, scalable, reliable, and efficient backend services using appropriate technologies.
  • Work closely with frontend developers to define API endpoints and request/response formats and contents.
  • Design and optimize database schemas, write efficient queries, and ensure performance and reliability.
  • Integrate third-party services, libraries, and tools into our applications architecture.
  • Implement security best practices, such as encryption, authentication, authorization, and protection against common security vulnerabilities.
  • Optimize code and system architecture for scalability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Write unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure the reliability and stability of our software.
  • Debug and troubleshoot issues in new and existing systems.
  • Participate in code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
