- Integrate with object storage solutions (e.g., AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage) for file and media management
- Handle stateful objects and session management for complex application workflows
- Build and maintain RESTful APIs and microservices architecture for scalable applications
- Develop and integrate MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for interoperability with Agentic AI systems
- Implement authentication, authorization, and security best practices (JWT, OAuth, encryption)
- Optimize database queries, API performance, and overall system scalability for data-intensive workloads
- Troubleshoot and resolve backend issues, including performance bottlenecks and security vulnerabilities
- Collaborate with frontend developers, DevOps engineers, and product managers in a cross-functional environment
- Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and agile development processes
- Document APIs, database schemas, and system architectures for maintainability and team knowledge sharing
- Ensure compliance with data protection regulations and industry standards

- Strong experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL and MongoDB)
- Experience with object storage services (e.g., AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage) for handling large files and media
- Expertise in data modelling and database design for high-performance, data-intensive applications
- Knowledge of clean architecture, abstraction, and isolation patterns
- Expertise in building RESTful APIs and microservices architecture
- Experience with MCP servers and protocol implementations
- Solid understanding of API design, versioning, and documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI)
- Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows
- Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) for microservices
- Ability to work in agile environments and collaborate with cross-functional teams
- Experience with troubleshooting backend issues and debugging tools
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with TypeScript for Node.js development
- Familiarity with message queues (such as RabbitMQ, Kafka) and event-driven architectures
