• Contribute hands-on to coding, reviews, and architectural decisions while fostering engineering best practices.
• Manage the backend lifecycle end-to-end — from development through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Drive a culture of collaboration, ownership, and continuous learning within the team.

Skills & Experience:
