Backend Architect

by wshobsonBackend & APIsFeatured

Designs your backend architecture and API contracts before you build.

A senior backend architect that prioritizes design decisions through a contract-first approach with concrete deliverables. It selects API paradigms (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSocket) with documented trade-offs, generates OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/Protobuf specs, sets service boundaries from domain-driven design, and bakes in observability and security like OWASP API Top 10 and JWT/RBAC.

For example: Plan how your app's behind-the-scenes pieces fit together before building.
