Senior Backend Engineer
Sadeem Informatique
Apr 2024 — Present · Algiers — Remote
- Started building full-stack Laravel projects, then shifted focus to backend engineering — REST API design, database modelling, and scalable system architecture — as the company moved toward larger, more complex products.
- Took on DevOps responsibilities organically: provisioned and maintained 5 Linux VPS environments, replaced manual SSH/FTP deployments with automated CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Slack alerts), cutting deployment time from ~2 hrs to minutes; implemented production monitoring achieving ~95% uptime across all environments.
- Led solution architecture on 2 major projects — designed a scalable, multi-tier infrastructure separating application, cache, filesystem, and database layers, with isolated pre-production and production environments.
- Mentored 5+ junior developers on backend best practices, Git workflows, and branching policies; ran code reviews and contributed to scrum ceremonies.
- Wrote 7 technical articles for the Sadeem engineering blog covering backend architecture and DevOps best practices.
