- Design and build RESTful APIs and event-driven microservices
- Monitor and troubleshoot production issues; perform root cause analysis
- Optimize application performance (CPU, memory, DB queries, GC behavior)
- Collaborate with product managers, architects, and cross-functional teams to design system architecture
- Contribute to architectural improvements and long-term platform scalability
- Drive engineering best practices, code reviews, and quality standards
