Back End Developer

As a Backend Developer, your responsibility will be to design and develop the backend services which include the APIs required for our mobile and web applications and other S2S interactions. You’ll also be required to coordinate with the rest of the team working on different layers of the infrastructure, who can independently lead development towards the delivery in a fast-paced environment.

Additionally, you'll be bringing a nice thought process in creating test driven development, automations of applications and backend services, etc. Thus, a commitment to collaborative problem solving and sophisticated design with core emphasis on product quality.
