  • Ensure database security, backup, and disaster recovery requirements are met.
  • Troubleshoot and debug back-end issues and optimize application performance.
  • Coordinate with the development team and perform deployments to development and production environments.
  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to best coding practices.


Qualifications:

  • Strong proficiency in server-side languages such as PHP, Node.js, C# and Java.
  • Experience with server management tools and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure).
  • Expertise in building and consuming RESTful/GraphQL/RPC/OData APIs.
  • Experience with popular CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal, Craft, etc.).
  • Strong knowledge of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis).
  • Understanding of web security best practices (SSL, encryption, authentication methods).
  • Proficiency with GIT version control.
  • Experience with DevOps tools and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Knowledge of caching mechanisms like Memcached or Redis.


Benefits and perks:


  • Robust medical, dental and vision coverage (100% paid medical premiums for employees)
