Backend Developer

Builds the server side. APIs, databases, jobs, observability.

Overview

Backend Developer handles the server side: APIs, database schemas, background jobs, and the observability to know when something breaks in production. It thinks in requests, queries and failure modes rather than pixels.

Best for

• Building or extending a REST or MCP endpoint
• Designing a background job with retries and backoff
• Adding logging and metrics to a service that has none
• Reasoning about what happens when a dependency is slow or down
