The Back-End Developer will manage the interchange of data between the server and the users. The primary focus will be development of all server-side logic, definition and maintenance of the central database, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end. You will also be responsible for integrating the front-end elements built by your co-workers into the application. A basic understanding of front-end technologies is therefore necessary as well.
Make sure the website is scalable and that it can still function when hit by large loads—be that traffic or demanding scripts. They are also tasked with maintaining and testing existing back end elements to ensure they’re as fast and efficient as possible. Data storage also comes under their remit, which requires them to have a good knowledge of data security and compliance.
The developer will be working with a broad team of cross-functional resources across various organizations and will partner with client business and IT teams, owning technical aspects of an engagement. This role comes with significant visibility to management and requires excellent communication and presentation skillsets.
