• Design and optimize database schemas, queries, and indexes for performance, scale, and reliability (SQL or NoSQL)
• Implement, test, and maintain backend components and services, primarily using Rust
• Deploy, monitor, and tune services running in hybrid cloud environments, focusing on performance, resilience, and cost efficiency
• Apply security best practices to build systems that are secure by design, resilient in production, and straightforward to maintain
• Participate in peer code reviews and contribute to a collaborative, supportive engineering culture
