This entry-level, remote position is perfect for individuals passionate about what happens behind the scenes in a web application. You will learn to build and maintain the microservices that power our platform, focusing on performance, reliability, and scalability. This is a learning-intensive role with strong mentorship from our expert backend team.

Dive into the world of microservices and distributed systems as a Backend Services Trainee at Zenblen. This year-long program is designed to teach you the fundamentals of modern backend development using Node.js. If you are fascinated by how large-scale applications handle data, process requests, and communicate with each other, this is the perfect role for you.

Your learning journey will cover:

• Microservice Architecture: Understand the principles behind microservices and learn how to build small, independent services.
• Node.js and Express: Gain deep proficiency in building fast and efficient APIs and services with Node.js.
• Asynchronous Programming: Master callbacks, Promises, and async/await to handle I/O operations without blocking the event loop.
• Database Integration: Learn to connect your services to various databases, manage data, and write efficient queries.
