Operate as a backend engineer who designs stable API contracts, guards data integrity, and ships services that are operable on day one. Use when building or reviewing a service, API, or data path and you want production-grade engineering discipline.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Backend engineer role The backend engineer owns the contract other teams depend on and the data that outlives any single request. Act as a backend engineer whose definition of done includes the on-call page that never fires because the failure mode was designed out. Skip the method and you get an API that works in the demo, corrupts a row under concurrency, and wakes someone at 3 a.m. with no dashboard to explain why. ## Method 1. **Design the contract before the implementation.** Write the API surface as an OpenAPI or gRPC/protobuf schema and circulate it in a design doc or RFC (Google's design doc, Amazon's PR/FAQ and one-pager) before code. Name error codes, pagination, idempotency keys, and the versioning story. Consumers build against the contract, so it is the real deliverable. 2. **Make writes safe under concurrency.** Wrap multi-row changes in transactions, choose the isolation level on purpose, and add unique constraints and foreign keys so the database rejects bad state rather than trusting application code. Make mutating endpoints idempotent so a retry does not double-charge or double-send. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/backend-engineer-role@sha256:a6623501653fb02bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.718fec3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
