• Enhance performance through caching strategies using Amazon ElastiCache (Redis)

• Implement logging, monitoring, and tracing using tools like CloudWatch or Prometheus

• Deploy and manage applications in Kubernetes environments via Amazon EKS

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver new features

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices

• Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to ensure high-quality deliverables

• Contribute to architectural decisions aligned with platform principles

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience with microservices architecture and related components (e.g., API gateways, workflow engines, messaging systems)

• Familiarity with Redis Streams for asynchronous communication

• AWS certifications (e.g., Developer, Solutions Architect)
