- Participate in benchmarking, load testing, and performance tuning.
- Research and implement modern frameworks and technologies for backend systems.
- Provide internal testing before release to QA and maintain versioning, documentation, and code hygiene.
- Monitor server health, perform data tuning, and suggest technology improvements.
- Design, develop, and maintain micro‑service based platforms with focus on security and coding standards.
- Loop in stakeholders to communicate issue root causes, action plans, and timelines.

- Solid database expertise with relational DBs (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle) and NoSQL DBs (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis). Experience in schema design, query optimization, and data migration.
- Hands‑on experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs, gRPC APIs, and message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka).
- Familiarity with micro‑service architecture, event‑driven patterns, API gateway, service discovery, and circuit breaker patterns.
- Good grasp of security best practices for authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure coding.
- Proficiency in OOP principles, data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns.
- Strong problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to explain technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and platform‑as‑a‑service offerings is a plus.
