Design, develop, and maintain web applications and services across the full stack.

Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate requirements into technical solutions.

Build responsive, accessible, and intuitive user interfaces.

Develop robust server-side logic, APIs, and integrations with external systems.

Write clean, maintainable, and well‑documented code.

Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize applications for performance and scalability.

Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment processes.

Experience with relational or NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB and cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud

Experience acquiring client requirements and resolving workflow problems through automation optimization

Knowledge of RESTful APIs, microservices, and web architecture
