Backend Developer to Build REST APIs
Skills Required
Description
Complex systems depend on clean, efficient backends — and that’s exactly what this role is about. We need a developer who can translate functional requirements into reliable, well-structured REST APIs that make the frontend shine.
You’ll be responsible for architecting and developing endpoints that connect multiple services, manage authentication, and deliver fast, consistent responses. The focus will be on performance, security, and scalability from day one.
Your main objectives will include:
Creating RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express that are easy to maintain and extend.
Building and optimizing relational database structures in PostgreSQL.
Implementing authentication, authorization, and session handling securely.
Ensuring clear versioning, validation, and error management throughout all endpoints.
Containerizing applications using Docker for streamlined deployment.
Every decision made here impacts the larger ecosystem, so attention to structure and modularity will be key. Your backend should serve as the foundation for future features, not just immediate tasks.
Performance tuning will be an ongoing part of your workflow. You’ll monitor query times, identify bottlenecks, and refine endpoints until everything runs smoothly — even under pressure.
Technical skills that will help you excel:
Advanced Node.js knowledge with a solid understanding of asynchronous programming.
