Skills employers look for in backend developers
- Server-side language depth: Node.js/TypeScript, Python, PHP/Laravel, Ruby, or Java — verify they have production experience in the specific language your stack uses, not just claimed familiarity.
- Database design and SQL proficiency: Relational database schema design (PostgreSQL or MySQL), indexing strategy, and complex query writing — ask them to walk through a data model they designed for a real-world use case.
- API design and documentation: REST endpoint design, HTTP status codes, pagination, versioning, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation — a backend developer who cannot document their own API creates bottlenecks for the frontend team.
- Authentication and authorization implementation: JWT, OAuth 2.0, and RBAC (role-based access control) — ask how they secure a multi-tenant API where one user must never access another user's data.
- Cloud infrastructure and deployment: AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, or Railway; Docker containers and CI/CD pipelines — distinguish between a developer who deploys to managed platforms versus one who configures infrastructure independently.
- Performance and query optimization: Database query planning (EXPLAIN ANALYZE), caching strategies (Redis), and identifying N+1 query problems — ask for a specific slow-query optimization they have diagnosed and resolved.
