Integrate with our CRM (_Zoho_) and other existing systems. Ensure compliance with NZ data protection standards. Deploy backend on Cloudflare (and/or coordinate with existing hosting infrastructure as needed). Provide documentation and handover to the internal team.

Qualifications & Skills

Proven experience in backend engineering with serverless platforms (Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, or similar). Strong knowledge of RESTful APIs, authentication, and security best practices. Familiarity with Cloudflare KV, Durable Objects, R2, or equivalent distributed data solutions. Experience with WordPress architecture and React-based frontend integration. Experience in migration projects (legacy CMS → modern stack) highly valued. Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively alongside frontend specialists.

Deliverables

Backend environment and Cloudflare Worker (or alternative) architecture established. Secure APIs deployed and tested with React frontend. Migration of content/data from WordPress. Integration with Zoho CRM and forms. Production deployment. Documentation + handover.

Duration: 1 month.

Engagement: Remote, with short daily and hourly weekly check-ins.
