• Implement secure authentication and authorization (OAuth2, RBAC, SSO).
• Follow best practices in code quality, testing, and documentation.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving backend architecture.
• Work closely with frontend, AI, and product teams to deliver new features.
• Take initiative in identifying improvements and building practical, scalable solutions.

  SQL/MySQL and data modeling best practices.
• Familiarity with Redis, message queues (Kafka, Rabbit
  
  MQ, Pub/Sub), and asynchronous processing.
• Experience with cloud storage solutions such as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage.
• Understanding of API authentication, security, and scalability principles.
• Strong debugging, testing, and performance optimization skills.

• Experience integrating AI/ML models into backend systems.
