* Develop containerized applications using Docker and deploy cloud-based capabilities across AWS, Azure, or GCP.

* Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Git Hub Actions or Jenkins.

* Contribute to software architecture and technical decisions, balancing performance, scalability, reliability, maintainability, and development velocity.

* Troubleshoot complex issues across application, infrastructure, networking, and data layers.

* Participate in technical design and code reviews and help establish practical engineering standards.

* Work with engineers, product owners, and customers to translate evolving requirements into effective technical solutions.

* Take ownership of significant technical capabilities from design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing support.

* Share knowledge and mentor other engineers through collaboration, code reviews, and technical guidance. You Have:
* 12+ years of experience with professional software engineering and delivering production software

* 5+ years of experience with Type Script, Node.js, React.js, and RESTful API design and implementation
