Sde-ii backend engineer

SDE-II (Backend Engineer) Experience: 4+ years Role Type: Full-time (On-site) About the Role: We’re looking for an experienced Backend Developer (SDE II) who can architect, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performance backend systems. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with modern backend frameworks, database systems, and cloud infrastructure, along with a strong understanding of system design and backend architecture. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and wants to take ownership of building robust backend services that directly impact product performance and user experience. Key Responsibilities: ● Backend Development: Build, scale, and maintain backend services and microservices using technologies such as Node.js, Express.js, and Nest JS (experience with Go, Python, or Java is a plus). ● System Design & Architecture: Design and implement reliable and maintainable backend architectures. Apply principles of modular architecture, event-driven systems, and microservices where appropriate. ● API Development: Develop and maintain RESTful APIs and Graph QL endpoints for efficient frontend-backend communication, with a focus on performance, versioning, and security. ● Database Management: Design and optimize schemas for relational databases like Postgre SQL, My SQL, as well as No SQL databases like Mongo DB, Redis, or Dynamo DB. ● Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve bottlenecks in APIs, queries, and backend logic. Use tools and strategies for load handling, caching (e.g., Redis), and horizontal scaling. ● Code Quality & Best Practices: Write clean, testable, and maintainable code. Participate in code reviews and promote engineering best practices. ● Testing & Debugging: Write unit and integration tests (e.g., using Jest, Mocha) and debug production issues efficiently. ● CI/CD & Dev Ops Collaboration: Work with the Dev Ops team to integrate backend services into CI/CD pipelines and automate deployments. ● Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with frontend engineers, designers, product managers, QA, and Dev Ops to ship features in a collaborative agile environment. Required Skills & Experience: ● 4+ years of hands-on backend development experience in a product or platform team. ● Strong experience with Node.js and Type Script; familiarity with Express.js, Nest JS, or similar frameworks. ● Solid knowledge of relational (Postgre SQL, My SQL) and No SQL (Mongo DB, Redis, Dynamo DB) databases. ● Proficient in designing and building scalable RESTful APIs; working knowledge of Graph QL is a plus. ● Experience working with Docker, Git, and CI/CD tools such as Git Lab CI, Git Hub Actions, or Jenkins. ● Exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, or Azure, and services like EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, Cloud Watch, etc. ● Understanding of backend security principles including authentication, encryption, and API protection. ● Experience with performance monitoring, debugging, and observability tools. ● Familiarity with event-driven systems using Kafka, Rabbit MQ, or SQS/SNS is a bonus. ● Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot issues in distributed systems. Nice to Have: ● Experience with Go, Python, or Java for building microservices. ● Exposure to Graph QL, Apollo Server, or g RPC. ● Familiarity with Kubernetes, and serverless architectures. ● Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform.
