Backend Engineer for Scalable API Systems

Skills Required

Description

Building scalable backend systems demands more than just clean code — it requires foresight. This role focuses on structuring API systems that can handle growing traffic, data requests, and integrations without breaking performance.

The project involves connecting with several services, including Stripe for payments and Firebase for real-time updates and secure authentication.

You’ll be expected to write modular, testable code that allows the frontend to interact smoothly with the backend. A good understanding of RESTful patterns and efficient data structures is crucial.

This is not a basic setup. The backend must support dynamic content feeds, user roles, and analytics—each requiring precision and performance under load.

Familiarity with QA testing tools and structured testing workflows will help ensure the stability of new deployments.

Beyond technical skills, understanding UX from a backend perspective is appreciated. The way you structure APIs directly affects loading speed, interaction smoothness, and overall user satisfaction.
