The negatives of being on being the backend engineer ( by backend I am assuming it means gathering and santizing data as well I may add )

+ 60% work is straight forward , he 40% with respect to data cleansing (especially big-data flows) is painful. Be it other systems that feed data or field devices that produce data , there is so much to handle + A new aggregate report may throw existing designs to the trenches + Doing a wild chase for 1 abhorrent row of data and painfully digging that up. I love the slickness for UI where you make a fix and refresh to see what happens + Lot of plumbing , the frontend uses a standard transport. The Backend API may be anything between Sockets to Webscrapers whose uptimes are always under the pump
