Your Headhunter for filling Backend Developer Vacancies
There's more to it than that: What does a backend developer actually do?
A backend developer - as the name already suggests - takes care of the development and maintenance of the IT system in the backend. The backend is the part of an IT system that is responsible for data processing in the background. The counterpart to this is the frontend as part of the user interface, i.e. what the user sees.
Without the backend, the system does not work. It is made up of databases, integrations and various external systems - this is where the backend developers come in. They design, develop, test and maintain this system, document their work and, at the same time, usually advise their colleagues from the frontend.
Sounds demanding? It is. That's exactly what makes qualified back-end developers so sought-after on the job market. Senior backend developers in particular are increasingly in demand.
What should a backend developer have to offer?
Python, C++, C#, Java and PHP - these are just a few of the languages that backend developers need to know. They should also be at home in the world of relational databases, which includes mastering database languages (e.g. SQL). Experience with frameworks such as Django (Python), Spring (Java), Symfony & Laravel (PHP) and an understanding of agile development are also important.
No doubt: The requirements for a backend engineer are high. However, hardly any company can do without a professional internet presence any more. Therefore, competent backend developers and especially senior backend developers are usually free to choose their workplace.
How does alphacoders identify qualified backend developers?
" How do backend developers tick?" is a question that recruiters from Berlin to Frankfurt ask themselves in their desperate search for suitable candidates. In light of an almost empty applicant market, they like to use the services of headhunters. In order to find the right candidate, it is essential that the recruitment agency understands what a potential candidate is capable of and what motivates him or her. To find suitable backend developers, you should therefore literally speak their language. Not all backend engineers are created equal, and the search for a suitable candidate should definitely take this into account.
