The behind-the-scenes activity of a modern website and the systems that make it dynamically responsive are designed, programmed and constantly tested by the back-end developer. Back-end developers create, code and improve the server, server-side applications and databases that, when combined with front-end apps, help create a functional and seamless experience for the end user.

Finding a back-end developer with programming and technical expertise as well as superior collaboration and communication skills will require a comprehensive recruitment strategy.

This customizable hiring kit, written by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium, provides a framework your business can use to find the right person for the job. The kit includes salary details, a job description, interview questions and a job advert.

DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS

The primary characteristic that separates the best candidates from the rest for an open back-end developer position is their ability to write clean, efficient and accurate programming code. These positions — more than many other developer positions — rely on programming skills and the ability to apply those skills to the entirety of a website and website system.

Back-end developers develop web services and APIs that front-end and mobile developers use to access core application logic, databases, APIs and other processes taking place behind the scenes. These services establish the foundation for data retrieval and application integration, which is vital to the successful operation of a modern website.
