• Design and develop modern web applications using Python and React.
• Build RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs using Django, Flask, or FastAPI.
• Lead technical design discussions, create architecture documents, and drive decisions on scalability, security, performance, and maintainability.
• Own features end to end, from discovery and technical design through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, QA, and other engineering teams to deliver high-quality customer outcomes.
• Conduct code reviews, promote engineering best practices, and mentor mid-level and junior engineers.
• Optimize performance across the stack, including frontend rendering, API latency, and database queries.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and contribute to cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, and observability.
• Identify and reduce technical debt, including leading modernization, refactoring, and migration initiatives.

• Experience with React, including Hooks, Context, and state/data management using Redux, Zustand, or React Query.
• Proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3.
• Strong database fundamentals, including schema design, indexing, and query optimization with PostgreSQL and/or MySQL; experience with NoSQL technologies such as MongoDB and Redis.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD, Git workflows, and automated testing (Jest and React Testing Library on the frontend, PyTest on the backend).
• Practical knowledge of application security, including OAuth, JWT, and OWASP principles.
• Strong debugging, performance optimization, and code quality skills, with the ability to independently own technical problems.
• Clear communication skills, with the ability to influence design decisions and work effectively across teams.
