Job Title: Cloud functions admin
Location: Remote / Contract-Based
Experience: 2+ years
Duration: 2 Month
Compensation: ₹3,000 - ₹5,000

Skill set:
1. Firebase Cloud Functions Core
Develop and manage HTTP functions (API endpoints).
Develop and manage Background functions:
Firestore Triggers (onCreate, onUpdate, onDelete).
Realtime Database Triggers (optional).
Authentication Triggers (user creation, deletion).
Cloud Storage Triggers (file uploads if needed).
Should know when to use HTTP vs Background triggers based on the project need.

Firestore: Handle document-based triggers, securely write/read.
Firebase Authentication: Validate users using admin.auth().verifyIdToken(token).
Firebase Storage: If target apps upload media (photos/videos).
Firebase Hosting: (optional) connect hosting with callable functions if needed.
mainly Firestore + Authentication + (optional Storage) are critical.

3. Security and Permissions
Write Cloud Functions that:
Validate Firebase ID tokens.
Protect APIs (check if caller is authorized).
Use environment variables (store secrets, encryption keys).
Implement Role-based Access Control (RBAC) inside Functions.

4. Deployment and Management
Proficient in Firebase CLI:
firebase deploy --only functions
firebase functions:log
firebase functions:shell
Set up multi-environment deployment:
Separate dev, staging, production Firebase projects (if scaling needed).
Manage Function versions and rollback if needed.
Fast debugging, deployment skills are a must.

5. Encryption Handling
Know how to handle:
Encrypt data before sending to Firebase (in API layer).
Decrypt data safely if needed in Cloud Functions
Use AES-256, RSA if needed.
Keep Encryption Keys safe using Firebase Environment Configs or Secret Manager.

6. Performance and Cost Optimization
Write small, fast Cloud Functions:
Avoid cold starts by minimizing dependencies.
Keep functions light (bundle only necessary code).
Manage:
Function timeouts.
Memory allocation.
Retry policies for background functions.

7. Error Handling and Monitoring
Use try-catch-finally properly in functions.
Log errors using:
console.error()
Cloud Logging and Alerts
Set up alerts if error rates spike (Firebase + Google Cloud monitoring).
