Backend Developer for API Integration with Third-Party Tools
Skills Required
Description
Integrating third-party tools into an existing platform requires a backend developer with strong expertise in Node.js and Express. The role will focus on building robust APIs that connect external services securely and efficiently.
The developer will design endpoints that allow smooth data exchange between the core system and external applications. This includes handling authentication, request validation, and error management to ensure reliable integrations.
Work with MySQL databases will involve creating queries and schemas that support the integration process without compromising performance. Data consistency and scalability will remain top priorities.
Some integrations will require GraphQL, offering more flexibility for the frontend team. This ensures that only necessary data is fetched, reducing overhead and improving responsiveness.
Authentication mechanisms will be carefully implemented to protect sensitive user data. Best practices around tokens, encryption, and session handling will be applied.
Cloud deployment experience will also be necessary. The integrations must run smoothly in production environments and be monitored for uptime and security.
Testing will play an important role. Automated tests will help validate endpoints and reduce the risk of regressions when adding new services.
The final outcome will be a stable set of APIs that extend the platform’s capabilities by connecting it with third-part...
