Technical Leadership & Process Optimization

Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and guide the backend engineering team to foster technical growth and enforce best practices.

Sprint & Architecture Planning: Plan backend roadmaps, break down features, lead system design discussions, and ensure explicit technical specs before execution.

Process Streamlining: Establish standard operating procedures for code reviews, unit/integration testing, release management, and API documentation.

Core Backend & Database Engineering

System Design & API Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and performant RESTful APIs and microservices using Node.js.

Database Architecture: Model and manage both document-based (MongoDB) and relational (PostgreSQL) databases, ensuring query optimization, indexing, and data integrity.

Performance Optimization: Monitor backend performance, diagnose bottlenecks, and optimize resource utilization under production traffic loads.

Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps

Cloud Operations: Manage and maintain production environments on AWS (or equivalent cloud services like GCP/Azure).

CI/CD Pipelines: Build, automate, and streamline CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless, zero-downtime deployments.

Observability & Security: Implement robust logging, monitoring, alerting (e.g., CloudWatch, Datadog), and cloud security best practices.

AI Integration & Innovation

AI-Assisted Engineering: Actively use AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude/ChatGPT APIs) to optimize coding efficiency, automate code reviews,



and speed up debugging.

Bot & AI Capabilities (Bonus): Design, build, or integrate custom AI/LLM agents, conversational bots, or automated workflow tools into our platform ecosystem.
