- Design efficient schemas, write optimized SQL (MySQL or PostgreSQL), and apply indexing and normalization best practices.
- Architect and iterate on scalable, decoupled systems—whether monolith or microservices—balancing performance, reliability and maintainability.
- Define, document and consume secure, versioned RESTful endpoints that serve both internal and external clients.
- Write and maintain unit/integration tests (RSpec or Minitest), and contribute to CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, tests and deployments.
- Partner with product managers, designers and front-end engineers to translate business requirements into technical solutions. Provide clear, proactive updates on progress, challenges and trade-offs.

- Relational Databases: Expert in MySQL or PostgreSQL—schema design, indexing, query optimization.
- API Development: Comfort designing, documenting and securing RESTful APIs.
- System Design: Ability to decompose complex problems, build modular services (microservices a plus) and make trade-off decisions.
- Version Control: Daily use of Git, collaborating via GitHub or GitLab.
- Containerization: Familiarity with Docker for development and production consistency.
- Cloud Services: Working knowledge of AWS (e.g., EC2, S3) or similar.
