• Design and optimize PostgreSQL databases, data models, and data access patterns.
• Develop containerized applications using Docker and deploy cloud-based capabilities across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
• Contribute to software architecture and technical decisions, balancing performance, scalability, reliability, maintainability, and development velocity.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across application, infrastructure, networking, and data layers.
• Participate in technical design and code reviews and help establish practical engineering standards.
• Work with engineers, product owners, and customers to translate evolving requirements into effective technical solutions.
• Take ownership of significant technical capabilities from design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing support.
• Share knowledge and mentor other engineers through collaboration, code reviews, and technical guidance.
