Job Details

Key Technical Skills:
  • JavaScript:
    A strong grasp of JavaScript syntax, functions, and event handling is crucial. This includes understanding modern JavaScript features like ES6, asynchronous programming (callbacks, Promises, async/await), and error handling.
  • Node.js:
    Proficiency in Node.js, including its core API, modules, and packages, is essential.
  • Web Development:
    Knowledge of web application architecture, design patterns, and HTTP/HTTPS protocols is necessary.
  • Database Management:
    Experience with both SQL databases (like PostgreSQL or MySQL) and NoSQL databases (like MongoDB) is vital for data storage and retrieval.
  • RESTful APIs:
    A deep understanding of REST principles and the ability to design and implement RESTful APIs is a core competency.
  • Version Control:
    Familiarity with version control systems like Git is essential for collaborative development and code management.
  • Front-End Technologies:
    While primarily a backend developer, understanding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript basics can be helpful for debugging and integration.
  • Frameworks:
    Experience with Node.js frameworks like Express.js is often required for building web applications.
  • Error Handling:
    Strong error handling skills are crucial for creating robust and reliable applications.
  • Asynchronous Programming:
    Understanding and applying asynchronous programming techniques (callbacks, Promises, async/await) is essential for optimizing performance.
  • Security:
    Knowledge of security best practices for Node.js applications, including preventing SQL injection and securing API endpoints, is important.
    Additional Skills:
    • Testing and Debugging:
      Experience with testing frameworks and debugging tools is valuable for ensuring the quality of the application.
    • CI/CD:
      Familiarity with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines is becoming increasingly important for modern development workflows.
    • Microservices:
      Knowledge of microservices architecture and its principles can be beneficial for building scalable and modular applications.
    • Cloud Platforms:
      Experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud can be a valuable asset.
