• Develop resilient, high-throughput RESTful APIs and real-time backend services capable of processing large volumes of user activity data.

⚡ Solve Concurrency, Consistency & Fraud Challenges

• Build systems that manage thousands of concurrent user uploads, real-time app syncs, and instant reward calculations.
• Ensure data accuracy, strict ledger consistency, and low-latency response times while guarding against double-dipping or fraud.
• Design efficient database schema and data access patterns for heavy read/write loads.

🧠 Contribute to Core Architecture

• Evolve and optimize our Go-based microservices architecture.
• Define clean service boundaries, secure API integrations for third-party platforms, and establish standard design contracts.
• Drive code quality, system performance, and maintainability across team repositories.

👥 Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Lead and mentor junior and mid-level backend engineers through detailed code reviews, design docs, and engineering best practices.

📈 Build for Reliability & Scale

• Design services that meet strict SLA availability and processing latency targets.
• Optimize relational and key-value database efficiency under high data ingestion rates.

🔧 Production Ownership

• Take ownership of service stability, uptime, and system visibility.
• Enhance logging, APM monitoring, and alerting frameworks; participate in incident resolution and postmortems.
