What employers look for in a Backend / Server Development CV / resume

Backend developer CVs are judged on how well you design and run server-side logic, not on UI work. Recruiters look for one strong language and framework, such as Java with Spring Boot, Python with Django or FastAPI, Node.js with Express, or PHP with Laravel, plus solid SQL and database design. Mention REST or GraphQL API design, authentication, caching, error handling, unit testing and basic Docker use. Freshers should explain the architecture of their projects, how data flows, and how they handled security and validation.
