The covid pandemic has changed the market and now most companies prefer remote work, which allows them to work from all over the world. Although the market has slowed down growth due to the war and other factors, and has declined in some industries, there is no doubt that everything will change again and the IT industry will catch up. In this article, we will look at the backend developer role, salary, programming languages used in backend development and how to find remote jobs for backend developers in India.
Who is a Backend Developer?
The back-end developer is responsible for creating and managing the code that powers the server side of the application and interacts with the client side. He is also responsible for the security, scalability and performance of the back end.
The Role of a Backend Developer
A back-end developer is a person who creates and maintains technologies that are hidden from the user’s eyes, that is, they are located outside his browser and computer, on the “backend”. For example, a person visits the site of an online store, selects products in the desired category, a request is made to the server, where the backend processes this request and understands which category the user wants to see products for. After that, he accesses the database with a request to receive goods for a specific category. The database searches through all the products that belong to this category and returns them to the back end, and the back end returns them to the front end already in a consistent format.
Salary of a Backend Developer
A backend developer salary in India varies depending on various factors such as experience level, location and the company they work for. If you have a software engineering job in the USA your salary is 60-200k$ per year.
Programming Languages Used in Backend Development
Backend development involves the use of programming languages and frameworks such as Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, and C++ to create web applications, system software, and gaming applications. With the advent of remote work opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, back-end developers in India can work for global companies from the comfort of their homes. They can find remote job opportunities on job portals like LinkedIn, Naukri, Indeed, and freelancing exchanges like Upwork and Freelancer. Online communities and forums like GitHub, Stack Overflow, and HackerRank can also help developers build a network and showcase their skills to potential employers.
