About this role
Node.ja React MySQL API Development OWASP
Role Overview
We are looking for a strong Senior Backend Developer with hands-on experience in designing and developing enterprise-grade backend systems, APIs and scalable application architectures.
The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in React, Node.js and SQL, excellent understanding of API development and backend architecture, and a strong focus on application and API security. The candidate should be capable of taking ownership of backend components from architecture and design through development, testing, deployment and ongoing improvement.
Experience with React and modern frontend development is preferred, as the role will involve working closely with frontend applications and understanding the complete application architecture.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can design robust systems, write high-quality code, identify architectural risks and build security into applications from the beginning.
Key Responsibilities
Backend Engineering Architecture
- Design and develop scalable, maintainable and high-performance backend applications.
- Build enterprise-grade REST APIs and backend services using Node.js.
- Define backend architecture, application structure, service boundaries and integration patterns.
- Design APIs that are reliable, versioned, well documented and easy to consume.
- Work with databases, caching, queues and external systems to build robust backend solutions.
- Handle complex business logic and high-volume data processing.
- Identify and resolve performance, scalability and reliability issues.
- Participate in architectural decisions and technical design discussions.
- Conduct code reviews and establish engineering best practices.
API Development
- Design and implement secure RESTful APIs and integrations.
- Implement appropriate authentication and authorization mechanisms.
- Design role-based and object-level access controls.
- Handle API validation, error handling, rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- Integrate with third-party APIs and enterprise systems.
- Ensure APIs follow consistent standards for security, logging, monitoring and documentation.
- Design APIs considering backward compatibility and future scalability.
Application API Security
The candidate should have practical experience in building secure applications and APIs and should understand concepts such as:
- OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Security Top 10
- Authentication and authorization
- JWT, OAuth 2.0 and secure token management
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Object-level and function-level authorization
- Input validation and output encoding
- SQL Injection and NoSQL Injection
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- CSRF
- Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
- Secure file upload and download mechanisms
- API abuse and rate limiting
- Sensitive data protection
- Secure password handling
- Secrets and credential management
- Secure session management
- HTTP security headers
- Secure configuration and environment management
- Dependency and package security
- Logging, monitoring and audit trails
