• Optimize storage and retrieval of large 3D files
• Profile and improve CPU, memory, and network performance

5. Infrastructure & DevOps

• Architect AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, ElastiCache)
• Build CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments and rollbacks
• Use Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Set up monitoring, logging, and alerting systems
• Use Docker and Kubernetes for container orchestration

• You are comfortable discussing microservices vs monoliths, choosing the right database for a use case, designing APIs, and introducing caching or queues when appropriate. You have made architectural decisions, optimized them later, and learned from the process.
• You stay close to the code. You pair program, review pull requests, jump into production incidents, and ship features alongside your team. You enjoy designing high-level architecture and then implementing the most critical components yourself.
• You balance ambition with pragmatism. You know when to use managed services, when to build custom solutions, and how to ship iteratively while maintaining system stability.
• Most importantly, you are a builder - someone excited to architect the backend foundations of a fast-growing XR platform, optimize performance for massive 3D workloads, and design infrastructure that supports global, real-time immersive experiences.
