● Build and oversee RESTful and asynchronous APIs using FastAPI (preferred) or Django / Flask, enforcing consistency and best practices across services.
● Provide technical leadership and mentorship to backend engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on guidance.
● Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Architects, DevOps, QA, and frontend teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
● Establish and drive engineering best practices around clean code, OOP design principles, testing strategies, documentation, and observability.
● Oversee CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies, partnering with DevOps to ensure secure, automated, and reliable releases.
● Own cloud architecture and service reliability across AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP environments.

● Embed security, data protection, and compliance considerations into system design and development workflows.
● Lead troubleshooting of complex production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement long-term corrective solutions.
● Remain hands-on with coding while balancing architectural ownership and team leadership responsibilities.
