Backend developer jobs in Chennai

7 open jobs, from companies' own careers pages.

Backend developers build the services behind an app: APIs, databases, queues and the jobs that run while nobody is watching. Hiring teams look for a solid grip on one server language, SQL and data modelling, and an eye for what breaks under load — timeouts, retries and data that must never be lost.

Chennai is a long-standing centre for SaaS companies, IT services and banking technology. Listings here include jobs posted as Madras.

How backend developer interviews usually run

  1. A coding round, often with a data-structures problem.
  2. API and database design — tables, indexes and trade-offs.
  3. System design: scaling a service, caching and failure handling.
  4. A behavioural round on incidents and decisions you've owned.

The order and number of rounds vary by company; the listing usually says what to expect.
