Backend Engineer

Builds the invisible plumbing that makes everything work.

the gist

Backend engineers build the APIs, databases, and services running behind the scenes. When you click 'save' and your stuff actually saves — that's them. They care about performance, reliability, and making sure the system doesn't fall over when traffic spikes.

a typical day

Designing an API endpoint, writing tests, reviewing PRs, investigating a slow database query, and pairing with frontend on the contract for a new feature.

you'd like this if…

You enjoy systems thinking, you find satisfaction in elegant code, and you don't need a UI to feel productive.
