Backend Developer for Microservices Architecture
Skills Required
Description
The shift toward modular and scalable backend systems has made microservices architecture one of the most reliable approaches for building high-performance applications. The Backend Developer for Microservices Architecture will focus on designing, developing, and optimizing backend services that are secure, maintainable, and efficient. Your primary objective will be to build independent yet interconnected modules that work seamlessly across distributed systems.
Working primarily with Node.js and Express, you’ll design APIs that communicate effortlessly between services. Each module will serve a specific business function, allowing for independent updates and scalability. You’ll be expected to maintain clear service boundaries, implement fault-tolerant communication, and ensure smooth data flow through asynchronous handling and message queues.
Database management will form a key part of the role. Using MongoDB, you’ll structure collections to support distributed workloads while ensuring query efficiency and data consistency. You’ll also implement Redis for caching, session management, and temporary data storage, improving response times and reducing unnecessary database hits.
Security will remain a core priority throughout development. You’ll design authentication mechanisms using token-based systems like JWT and secure APIs with middleware layers. Every endpoint will be validated to prevent vulnerabilities such as injection attacks, data leaks, and ...
