Backend / Integrations Engineer (Workflow, Security, and Integrations) One-Site

Backend / Integrations Engineer (Workflow, Security, and Integrations)

Position Summary

We are hiring a Backend / Integrations Engineer to strengthen the platform’s backend reliability, security baseline, and third-party integrations. This role focuses on building scalable APIs, traceable workflows, and integration readiness for required services.

Reporting Line

Reports to the Founder for milestones; works day-to-day with the Full-Stack Engineer and Product Manager.

Key Responsibilities

· Build and harden backend services: APIs, data models, workflow orchestration, and role-based access control.

· Implement audit-friendly logging/traceability for key actions and system events.

· Own integration implementations as required (e.g., notifications, payments where applicable, identity, external partner APIs when introduced).

· Improve reliability: error handling, retries, idempotency patterns, performance tuning, and monitoring.

· Maintain clean technical documentation for integrations and backend services.

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

· Education: Bachelor’s degree (mandatory) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

· Experience: 2–4 years of backend development with demonstrable API and integration delivery.

· Strong backend fundamentals: APIs, databases, authentication/authorization, secure coding.

· Integration patterns: third-party APIs, webhooks, and practical reliability patterns (error handling, retries, idempotency).

· Observability and debugging discipline: structured logs and measurable reliability improvements.

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience with transactional systems, workflow-based backends, or marketplace platforms.

· Experience with cloud services and basic DevOps collaboration.

· Experience integrating payment gateways and notification providers.

Expected Deliverables (Non-Negotiable)

Within 60–90 days, the engineer must deliver:

· Backend Baseline v1: stable APIs, clean data model, and role-based access control baseline.

· Audit & Traceability v1: event logging for key actions; searchable logs for operational support.

· Integration Pack v1: completed required integrations with documentation, including failure handling.

· Reliability Improvements v1: defined error-handling standards, retries/idempotency where needed, and monitoring metrics.

Application Requirements

· CV.

· GitHub/portfolio links (where available).

· Short note describing one integration-heavy system shipped and the candidate’s direct contribution.
