• Creating and updating REST APIs, ensuring they are ultra-performant, security-hardened, and extremely well documented.
• Building systems with design patterns and reusability in mind.
• Handling authentication, CRUD operations against backend resources, and integration with third-party services and systems.
• Working with both monolith and (serverless) microservice architectures.
• Collaborating with front-end developers to integrate user-facing elements with server-side logic.
• Writing and maintaining clean, efficient, and well-documented code.
• Conducting code reviews and providing constructive feedback to team members.
• Ensuring the scalability and reliability of backend systems.
• Staying up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in backend development.

• Proficiency in Laravel and PHP.
• Experience with Node.js, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, MySQL, and AWS API Gateway.
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design and best practices.
• Knowledge of authentication mechanisms and security best practices.
• Experience with both monolithic and microservice architectures.
• Ability to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively.

If you do not have experience as a Backend Lead yet, you must be a computer science graduate with a focus on cloud, networking, and security.
