Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain backend systems based on product design specifications, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical standards.
- Design and implement database schemas, optimize query performance, and ensure data integrity through robust database management practices.
- Create and maintain technical documentation, including API specifications, system architecture diagrams, and deployment guides, to support team collaboration and knowledge sharing.
- Collaborate with frontend developers and product managers to design and implement software system interfaces, ensuring seamless integration and functionality.
- Write and execute unit tests for developed components, identify and resolve bugs, and ensure code quality through rigorous testing protocols.
- Oversee the deployment and maintenance of backend systems, including monitoring system performance, managing server environments, and implementing updates with minimal downtime.
- Stay updated with emerging technologies and industry best practices to continuously improve system architecture, security, and scalability.
- Participate in code reviews, share technical expertise with team members, and contribute to the development of efficient and maintainable codebases.
- Coordinate with DevOps engineers to ensure smooth deployment processes, automate system testing, and implement CI/CD pipelines for efficient software delivery.
- Provide technical support for system troubleshooting, analyze error logs, and resolve issues promptly to ensure system availability and user satisfaction.
Job Requirements
- Proven experience in backend development, with a strong foundation in programming languages such as Java, Python, or Node.js.
- Expertise in database design and management, including experience with relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Redis).
- Knowledge of RESTful API development and integration, with experience in designing and documenting APIs for seamless system communication.
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance phases.
- Proficiency in version control systems like Git, with experience in collaborative development workflows and code management practices.
- Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Alibaba Cloud, including knowledge of serverless architectures, containerization (e.g., Docker), and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes).
- Ability to write and execute unit tests using frameworks like JUnit, PyTest, or Mocha, ensuring code quality and system reliability.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex system issues and implement effective solutions under time constraints.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, present technical solutions to non-technical stakeholders, and document processes clearly.
- Experience with system monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or New Relic, and knowledge of performance optimization techniques for backend systems.
- Proficiency in system security practices, including knowledge of authentication mechanisms, data encryption, and secure coding standards to protect sensitive information.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with a proactive approach to identifying opportunities for system improvement and innovation.
- Experience with agile development methodologies, including Scrum or Kanban, and familiarity with tools like Jira or Trello for project management.
- Strong attention to detail, with the ability to ensure accurate implementation of system requirements and maintain high-quality technical documentation.
- Knowledge of system scalability and performance optimization techniques, including load balancing, caching strategies, and database indexing.
- Experience with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, including tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI for automated testing and deployment.
- Ability to troubleshoot system issues, analyze error logs, and implement fixes to ensure system stability and uptime.
- Proficiency in system administration tasks, including server configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of backend environments.
- Experience with system documentation tools like Swagger, Postman, or Confluence to create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation.
