SDE II - Backend

System Design & Development: Architect and implement clean, modular, and scalable backend services using Java, Spring Boot, and modern microservice principles.

Database Management: Design efficient database schemas and write optimized queries for RDS (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and, optionally, NoSQL databases like Elasticsearch, MongoDB, or DynamoDB.

Messaging & Event-Driven Systems: Integrate Kafka or RabbitMQ to build robust and loosely-coupled event-driven architectures.

Caching Strategies: Leverage Redis or Memcached to implement high-performance caching strategies for scalable and low-latency systems.

Distributed Systems: Contribute to the design of distributed, resilient systems that can handle high throughput and concurrency.

Performance Optimization: Profile and tune backend performance across databases, APIs, and infrastructure.

Testing & Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable code with comprehensive unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and stability.

Startup Environment: Thrive in an agile, collaborative environment and take ownership of end-to-end feature delivery.
