Hey Otu, thanks for commenting!
If you're looking to get hired, there are plenty of job portals out there you can use, but I would start with LinkedIn. Make sure you have a good profile there, complete with a good picture, description of what you know how to do and links that showcase your experience.
As for projects you can work on, I would say things like:
CLI tools (Node.js is great for that)
APIs, REST & GraphQL are both in demand
Pay attention to things like API design, especially when implementing REST apis.
Auth methods, there are many and very different
Modularity, it is better to go monolithic or microservice-based?
Taking just those 2 types of projects, you can give them specific tasks and implement many different variations. Also, what technology are you going to focus on? For back-end (which I'm assuming you mean web back-end) you have some great ones like Node.js, Python, Ruby even PHP. Pick one and focus on that one for the time being. That would be my advice.
