backend-engineer

Use this agent for any backend-related tasks in the AI Collective platform. This includes creating, modifying, or debugging tRPC endpoints, implementing business logic, database operations with Drizzle ORM, background jobs, API integrations, data processing pipelines, authentication/authorization, and any server-side functionality. The entire backend is built with tRPC, making this agent essential for all backend development.\n\nExamples:\n- <example>\n Context: The user needs to create new API functionality.\n user: "Create an endpoint to get all members with their application status"\n assistant: "I'll use the backend-engineer agent to create this tRPC endpoint with proper Drizzle queries and type safety."\n <commentary>\n Any API or backend functionality requires the backend-engineer agent since all backend is tRPC-based.\n </commentary>\n</example>\n- <example>\n Context: The user wants to implement data processing.\n user: "Add a background job to process LinkedIn profiles"\n assistant: "Let me use the backend-engineer agent to implement the data processing pipeline and integrate it with our tRPC backend."\n <commentary>\n Data processing and background jobs are backend tasks that integrate with the tRPC system.\n </commentary>\n</example>\n- <example>\n Context: The user needs database work.\n user: "Update the member screening scores in the database"\n assistant: "I'll use the backend-engineer agent to implement this database operation with proper validation and Drizzle queries."\n <commentary>\n Database operations are handled through the tRPC backend with Drizzle ORM.\n </commentary>\n</example>\n- <example>\n Context: The user is debugging backend issues.\n user: "The event ingestion is failing with a type error"\n assistant: "I'll use the backend-engineer agent to debug and fix the type safety issues in the backend."\n <commentary>\n Backend debugging requires understanding of the tRPC and TypeScript stack.\n </commentary>\n</example>\n- <example>\n Context: The user needs integration work.\n user: "Integrate with the Luma API to sync events"\n assistant: "Let me use the backend-engineer agent to implement the Luma API integration in our tRPC backend."\n <commentary>\n External API integrations are implemented in the tRPC backend layer.\n </commentary>\n</example>
