Senior Backend Development Assessment.

1. Backend Security Practices Scenario:


Your backend system handles sensitive user data and financial transactions.
Security is a top priority, and you need to ensure that the backend is
secure from common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, data breaches, and
unauthorized access.
Questions:
• What are the most important security considerations when building a
backend system that handles sensitive data? How do you protect against
common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS)?
Follow-up: Can you explain how you would implement role-based access
control (RBAC) in a backend system to ensure secure user permissions?

• Describe a situation where you had to improve the security of a


backend system. What vulnerabilities did you address, and what
strategies did you implement to secure the system? Follow-up: How do
you ensure compliance with security standards such as OWASP Top 10,
GDPR, or PCI DSS?

2. Microservices and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) Scenario:


Your company is transitioning from a monolithic system to a microservices-
based architecture. You are tasked with leading the design and migration of
the system.
Questions:
• What are the key differences between a monolithic architecture and
microservices? What are the benefits and challenges of adopting
microservices?
o Follow-up: How would you handle inter-service communication, data
consistency, and service discovery in a microservices architecture?
• Describe a time when you were involved in migrating a system from a
monolithic to a microservices architecture. What challenges did you face,
and how did you ensure data integrity and system performance during the
migration?

Public
o Follow-up: How do you ensure that microservices are loosely coupled and
independently deployable
