  • Ensure backend systems meet high standards of performance, reliability, and scalability.

Microservices & Modernization

  • Lead and support the transition from monolithic systems to microservices architecture.
  • Apply best practices for service decomposition, communication, and resilience.

Cloud & Infrastructure Collaboration

  • Contribute to architecture decisions related to scalability, security, and cost efficiency.

Database & Data Management

  • Design and optimize MySQL schemas, queries, and indexing strategies.
  • Ensure data integrity, performance, and long-term maintainability.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with product teams and stakeholders to understand requirements and constraints.
  • Clearly communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

  • Solid understanding of RESTful API design and backend service development.
  • Deep knowledge of microservices architecture and distributed systems.
  • Proficiency with MySQL and relational database design.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services.
  • Experience with Hibernate or similar ORM frameworks (preferred).

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or containerized deployments.
  • Exposure to event-driven architecture and Kafka.
  • Experience using Azure DevOps.
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automation practices.
