You're right at home with the cloud, web backends and building elegant APIs. You have always been a bit curious about how things work under the hood. You can position yourself in the role of a backend developer, cloud specialist or somewhere in-between. You have likely dabbled with web frameworks, continuous integration, containerization, test automation, continuous deployment and databases. It's not just about getting the data to flow from the database to the user's screen, it's about getting to know the technologies, understanding the layers and finally delivering code to production. Assembling a functional, robust and maintainable system is a challenge you are eager to undertake.

You are fluent in one or more programming languages and ecosystems: possibly with TypeScript and Node.js, perhaps Java/Scala/Clojure, or maybe with C#. You know your cloud, be it AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform or the like, and can set up a robust and highly scalable cloud infrastructure. You understand the benefits and tradeoffs of microservices and perhaps enjoy working with serverless platforms or are proficient at deploying Cloud Infrastructure as Code with Terraform / CloudFormation.

At the end of the day, the technology is but a means to an end, and your willingness to learn new things is what counts. You enjoy creating elegant solutions to today's problems and have fun while doing it.

You might also find some of these interesting:

• Sponsorship for doing open-source projects on free time
