- Implement robust security and data protection protocols to safeguard sensitive user information.
- Integrate third-party services and payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal) with a focus on reliability and error handling.
- Collaborate with frontend developers to define API contracts and ensure seamless data integration.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional experience in backend development using Node.js (Express/NestJS) or similar frameworks.
- Deep understanding of asynchronous programming and its quirks.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and experience with NoSQL databases when appropriate.
- Familiarity with Docker and containerization for consistent development and deployment environments.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and a "test-driven" approach to writing server-side code.
