Fullstack Developer at PLANT-MY-TREE

PLANT-MY-TREE®-per-order

The application enables Shopify merchants to automatically place tree-planting orders for every incoming order. By integrating ecological contributions directly into the purchase process, the manual effort for tracking and billing reforestation initiatives is eliminated. The system increases transparency for end customers through real-time visualizations of the ecological impact directly in the storefront. The architecture is based on a modular monolith with Spring Boot in the backend and an integrated React app inside the Shopify admin area. The solution uses webhooks to capture order data in an event-driven way and integrates the weclapp ERP system for automated monthly invoicing. An app proxy mechanism provides dynamic statistics such as CO2 compensation and planted trees without any performance loss for the merchant shop.

Tasks:

  • Design of the modular software architecture based on Spring Modulith to ensure high maintainability
  • Development of the event-driven business logic for evaluating Shopify orders via webhooks
  • Implementation of automated invoicing by connecting the weclapp REST API
  • Building the frontend using React Router and Shopify App Bridge for native integration
  • Design of the database model and implementation of the persistence layer with JPA/Hibernate and Prisma
  • Integration of internationalization processes for global use in the frontend and email communication
  • Automation of deployment processes using Docker and GitLab CI/CD

About the technology

What REST API covers

REST API work focuses on clear HTTP interfaces between systems. It is used to expose data, accept commands, and keep web apps, mobile apps, and partner services in sync. Strong specialists design endpoints that are easy to use, stable to maintain, and simple to extend.

Typical delivery

  • New service endpoints for product and internal teams
  • Integration layers for CRM, ERP, payments, and logistics
  • API redesigns for cleaner resource models and versioning
  • Documentation that other teams can actually follow
  • Error handling, authentication, and rate limiting

Tools and ecosystems

REST API specialists often work with OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman, JSON, and common HTTP conventions. They also need a solid grasp of REST principles, status codes, caching, pagination, and idempotency. In Dusseldorf, this often matters for firms that connect retail, industrial, media, and B2B systems.

When freelance help fits

Companies bring in freelance expertise when an API needs to launch fast, when legacy endpoints need cleanup, or when an integration is blocking delivery. It also helps when a team needs short-term support for a migration, a security review, or a partner rollout. Good freelancers reduce friction without forcing a full-time hire.

What strong specialists do

Strong REST API professionals think in contracts, not just code. They keep resource names consistent, make responses predictable, and document behavior before edge cases become support issues. They also coordinate well with frontend, backend, and QA specialists so the interface stays usable as the product changes.

What quality looks like

A well-built REST API is easy to test, easy to version, and hard to misuse. Look for clear naming, consistent errors, secure authentication, and documentation that matches real behavior. Good specialists explain trade-offs, spot weak boundaries, and keep the API stable for other teams that depend on it.

Frequently asked questions

Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about REST API.

A strong REST API lets systems exchange data through clear HTTP endpoints. Companies use it to power web apps, mobile apps, partner integrations, and internal services. It is especially useful when different teams need a stable contract between separate systems.

REST API is usually the simplest choice when you want resource-based endpoints, standard HTTP methods, and broad tooling support. GraphQL is better when clients need flexible queries, while SOAP is still seen in some enterprise environments with stricter contract rules. A good specialist helps you choose the right fit instead of forcing one style everywhere.

A strong REST API specialist should also know HTTP, JSON, authentication, OpenAPI, and basic security practices. Experience with databases, caching, testing, and one or more backend stacks is very useful too. That mix helps them design endpoints that work well in real systems, not just in theory.

The right level depends on the scope of the REST API work. A small documentation cleanup needs less depth than a full redesign, a partner integration, or a migration from older endpoints. For production systems, you want someone who has already handled versioning, error handling, and change control.

Yes, REST API work is often well suited to remote collaboration because most delivery happens through code, specs, and reviews. For teams in Dusseldorf, a specialist may join on-site for kickoff workshops or sensitive integration phases, then continue remotely. Clear communication in English is usually enough, though German can help with local stakeholders.

A good REST API freelancer writes clear contracts, documents endpoints properly, and explains why certain design choices were made. Look for consistent response formats, sensible status codes, and awareness of security and versioning. If they can talk through edge cases and integration risks early, that is a strong sign.

Before hiring for REST API work, gather your current API specs, sample payloads, auth details, and a short list of problems you want solved. It also helps to share the systems the API must connect to and any rules for versioning or backward compatibility. The more concrete the brief, the faster a specialist can contribute.

Yes, REST API specialists are often brought in to stabilize older integrations and reduce breakage between systems. They can map weak endpoints, improve documentation, and introduce cleaner patterns without forcing a full rebuild. That is valuable when a team needs safer change and less manual support.
