Backend Engineer

About the Role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer experienced in building and scaling backend systems that power web, mobile, and multi-platform applications. You’ll work across modern backend stacks—.NET, Java, Node.js, Python, and cloud-native services—while architecting robust data models and highly performant APIs.

This role emphasizes Azure cloud engineering, SQL/Postgres database architecture, and the ability to support backend functionality for both web applications (React/.NET) and mobile clients (iOS/Android/React Native).

Responsibilities:

Backend Engineering Across Web & Mobile Applications

• Design and develop backend services for web platforms (React, Java-based systems) and mobile applications (iOS, Android, React Native).
• Build and maintain REST/GraphQL APIs consumed by multiple client applications.
• Implement secure authentication/authorization flows, data access layers, and business logic frameworks.
• Develop backend modules using .NET, Java, Node.js/Express, depending on the system.

Database Engineering & Data Architecture (Primary Focus)

• Design relational schemas, optimize queries, and architect scalable datasets using SQL and Postgres.
• Implement performance tuning, indexing strategies, migrations, partitioning, and replication.
• Build data pipelines, caching layers, ETL processes, and data integrations across platforms.

Azure Cloud Architecture

• Build scalable cloud-native backend components using:
• Azure Functions
• Azure App Service
• Azure API Management
• Azure SQL / Azure Database for PostgreSQL
• Azure Cosmos DB
• Azure Event Grid / Service Bus
• Implement monitoring, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing across services.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and DevOps practices.

Integration & Platform Engineering

• Integrate with identity providers, messaging platforms, analytics services, and payment gateways.
• Support backend orchestration for multi-platform frontends, ensuring consistency, reliability, and high performance.
• Collaborate with mobile, web, and platform teams to define system requirements and architectural patterns.

Quality, Reliability & Operations

• Develop automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end) and enforce backend quality standards.
• Improve system observability, resiliency, and error-handling across distributed environments.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and production readiness evaluations.

Required Qualifications:

• 3+ years backend engineering experience, building production systems for web and/or mobile applications.
• Strong expertise in SQL and Postgres, including schema design, indexing, performance tuning, and data modeling.
• Experience building backend services using .NET, Java, Node.js, or Python.
• Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services (Azure Functions, App Service, API Management, Cosmos DB, Event Grid/Service Bus).
• Proficiency with REST/GraphQL API design and system integration patterns.
• Understanding of microservices, event-driven architecture, and distributed system concepts.
• Knowledge of authentication standards (OAuth2, JWT, identity providers) and secure backend patterns.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, testing frameworks, cloud monitoring, and observability tools.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with high-scale systems or multi-tenant architectures.
• Exposure to React-based frontend architecture or mobile backend support workflows.
• Experience with containerization (Docker) or Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of caching systems (Redis) and message brokers (Kafka or Service Bus).
