You will create architecture documents, functional specifications, design documents, and developer test plans. Additionally, you will coordinate the end-to-end development, deployment, and testing of new features and product enhancements.

Writing reliable, secure, scalable, and high-performance code is essential, as is performing thorough code reviews and analysis. You will monitor platform performance and participate in on-call rotations to resolve urgent issues. Collaborating with customer support teams to address client concerns and integrating new technologies into the backend cloud infrastructure will also be key parts of your responsibilities.
