This role is for a seasoned professional with a strong background in server-side development, database management, and API security. If you are passionate about building reliable and high-performing APIs, we’d love to hear from you.

Ensure secure and efficient AWS EC2 deployments via SSH and SCP.

Use GitHub for version control, collaboration, and code reviews.

Focus on logging, error handling, and building scalable APIs that adhere to best practices.

Collaborate with the team to provide out-of-the-box solutions to complex backend challenges, with an emphasis on security and performance.

What We Value:

Backend API Expertise: Demonstrated experience in building and maintaining secure REST APIs.

Security-First Approach: Security is our top priority; we need someone who understands how to build secure and resilient backend systems.

Availability: While this is not a full-time role, we expect responsiveness and availability for critical tasks or emergencies.

Problem Solving: Ability to analyze and resolve backend issues effectively and efficiently.

Communication: Clear and consistent communication to maintain alignment with the team.

What We Offer:

A friendly work environment with a supportive and collaborative team.

Flexible work hours, as long as you're available when needed.

Opportunity to work on impactful projects, creating secure and scalable APIs.
