- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments.
Code Reviews & Standards
- Participate in peer code reviews to maintain high coding standards.
- Ensure adherence to best practices and architectural guidelines.
Documentation
- Maintain clear technical documentation for APIs, services, and system designs.
Collaboration
- Work closely with frontend developers (e.g., React), architects, DevOps, QA, and business teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Position Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
