• Contribute to the design of RESTful APIs to build scalable high-performance services for single- and multi-tenant SaaS products.
• Design, document and oversee the architecture of scalable SaaS products.
• Work as part of a team optimising database queries and ensuring data integrity and consistency in PostgreSQL.
• Engage in technical discussions, participate in technical designs and present technical ideas through white boarding (or online equivalent).
• Evaluate technology options to meet business needs and make appropriate trade-offs.
• Stay abreast of emerging trends in SaaS, cloud computing and data technologies.
• Maintain code quality through best practices, unit testing and code quality automation.
• Understand performance parameters and be able to assess application performance and contribute to optimising it/improving it through design and best coding practices.
• Work on core data structures as well as algorithms and have the ability to implement them using a language of choice.
• Use excellent communication skills to work collaboratively and effectively with global teams in an Agile setting.
• Write clear, structured documentation for designs, ensuring developers and stakeholders can easily understand and maintain the codebase, along with product documentation to support end user integration.
