Backend Developer to Build Payment Processing Microservices
Skills Required
Description
The project centers on building backend microservices to handle payment processing with reliability and scalability.
Developers must be comfortable working in modular systems where each service operates independently yet integrates smoothly into the larger platform.
Payment processing involves sensitive data, which makes security and compliance a top priority from day one.
Microservices should be designed for fault tolerance. If one service fails, others must continue operating without disruption.
The system must support multiple payment gateways to ensure flexibility for different regions and customer preferences.
Clear API contracts are expected. Each service should communicate with well-documented endpoints that are easy for other developers to consume.
Performance is equally important. Payment confirmations, refunds, and transaction histories must be processed quickly, even under heavy loads.
Logging and monitoring should be baked into the architecture to provide full visibility into service health and transaction flow.
Integration testing will be a requirement. The services must function properly when combined, not just in isolation.
Documentation of setup and usage is part of the scope. This ensures future developers can onboard quickly without confusion.
Long-term maintainability matters. Code should be structured in a way that supports scaling, refactoring, or replacing component...
