Anyone recommend any books for Best Practices and Development of Back End Infrastructure? I'm well versed in MYsql, Java, PHP, Ruby.

There's no one book telling you "this is how you should do blah". You have to research. You'll notice those books deal with scaling websites to millions of users but I always found the lesson they teach/preach to be really important.
Anyway, once you start covering those topics a lot you notice patterns and hopefully you can start to incorporate that sort of thinking into your own development.
One thing to remember. Good design/engineering is about simplicity and elegance. Those are two beautiful things.
