Back-end Developer Cover Letter Example

Dear Head of Human Resources,

As a Back-End Developer with 3 years of start-up and scale-up experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this role.

I currently work as a Back-End Developer at LIMEX Technologies, where I support this $8m digital technology scale-up with managing back-end services across nearly 100 machines. Mirroring your requirements, I:

• Implement new product features and improve existing codebase
• Enhance backend systems to scale as request and data volumes have grown larger and larger
• Deploy Beta versions for testing, work closely with QAs, and deploy final versions to production

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of Information Systems and have an extensive online portfolio (www.michaelgebauerdeveloper.com). I am familiar with all programs and tools in your description, including Python, SQL, AWS (EBS, EC2, RDS) , Redis, and RabbitMQ. I am also a skilled user of Composer, Drush, Git, and Agile methodologies.

I have loved every minute of my time at LIMEX. As they are relocating their head office to Glasgow, I am now seeking a stimulating opportunity closer to home.

Please find attached my resume for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Gebauer
