Working hours overlap
Your day is their day shift.
Sydney (AEST)9:00am
Manila (PHT)7:00am
Manila is 2 hours behind Sydney (3 in daylight saving), so your business day is a normal day shift for them.
Can they design and build REST APIs from scratch?
Yes. API design, versioning, authentication (JWT/OAuth), and documentation are core competencies.
Do they handle database design?
Yes. Schema design, query optimisation, migration management, and indexing strategy are within scope.
Can they work with AWS?
Yes. EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, and CloudFront are commonly used. We match based on your specific AWS services.
How do we ensure security best practices?
All backend developers are expected to follow OWASP standards. You can specify additional compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001) in the brief.
Can they own infrastructure as well as application code?
Yes for mid-size systems. For large-scale infrastructure-as-code, a dedicated DevOps Engineer alongside the backend developer is recommended.
