- Participate in system design discussions for new features, services, and platform components.




- Design efficient database schemas, indexes, and data access patterns based on application requirements.
- Optimise backend systems for high TPS, low latency, and reliable performance under load.
- Work on distributed system concerns such as retries, idempotency, rate limiting, caching, queues, and fault tolerance.
- Collaborate with frontend, DevOps, QA, and product teams to deliver production-ready solutions.
- Understand and contribute to deployment practices, especially around Kubernetes/EKS-based environments.
- Debug and resolve production issues related to performance, memory usage, database bottlenecks, and service reliability.
- Implement observability practices including structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-structured backend code in the chosen technology stack.
