  • Technology Exploration: Stay ahead of backend trends and technologies, providing research and recommendations to stakeholders. Break down complex backend issues into understandable, actionable points.

7. Workplace Expectations

  • Ownership Mentality: Embody a strong sense of ownership over the backend systems, with a proactive attitude that eliminates the need for close follow-up.
