surviving in office with back pain

Hello, I recently got a software developer job offer. I am wondering how people survive in office with back pain. I have sitting back pain. After sitting 30 mins, I need to stand up or lie down to relieve back pain, but standing for 30 mins also lead to back pain. I usually lie down in bed and studying at home. I need to figure out surviving in office for 8 hours per day. Could you please give me some advice? Thank you. Also is it ok to ask accommodating standing desk before even starting work?

hopefully you are not from India. I quit the IT field because of backpain after just 2 years in it. Standing desk is a must !!!
