  2. Cloud Infrastructure : Design, deploy, and manage scalable and reliable AWS infrastructure, focusing on cost-effectiveness, performance, and security.
  3. DevOps and CI/CD : Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines, streamline release cycles, and ensure smooth deployments to support rapid growth.
  4. Database Management : Oversee database design, optimization, and maintenance (SQL and NoSQL) to handle large-scale, real-time data streams.
  5. Architecture & Scalability : Drive architectural decisions that support scalability and reliability, including microservices, containerization, and infrastructure as code (IaC).
  6. Monitoring & Incident Response : Set up monitoring and alerting systems, respond to live operational events, and proactively address anticipated issues.
  7. Mentorship & Leadership : Guide and mentor junior team members, fostering best practices in backend development, DevOps, and architecture.
  8. Stakeholder Collaboration : Partner with stakeholders across Product, Design, and Business teams to ensure alignment and deliver high-quality, backend-focused solutions.
Minimum Qualifications

Backend Expertise : At least 5 years of backend engineering experience, particularly in TypeScript, Node.js, and API development.

AWS & DevOps Skills : Proficient in AWS services (e.g., Lambda, RDS, ECS) and DevOps tools (e.g., Docker, Terraform) with a solid understanding of infrastructure and automation.

Scalable Architecture : Proven experience in designing scalable, distributed systems, and familiarity with microservices and serverless architectures.

Database Management : Expertise in SQL and NoSQL databases, with experience in optimizing for performance and scalability.

CI/CD & Automation : Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and automating infrastructure and deployment processes.

Agile Methodologies : Experience working within Agile frameworks to deliver backend-focused projects efficiently.

Communication Skills : Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
