  • Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines for faster and safer deployments.
  • Monitor and debug production issues, using observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) for root cause analysis.
  • Participate in code reviews, contribute to improving development standards, and provide support to less experienced engineers.
  • Work with event-driven or microservices-based architecture, and optionally use technologies like GraphQL, WebSockets, or message brokers such as Kafka or RabbitMQ when suitable for the solution.

  • Exposure to monitoring, logging, and performance profiling practices in production environments.
