• Strong working knowledge of relational databases (such as Oracle and SQL Server) as well as non‑relational databases (including Couchbase, Elasticsearch, and Cassandra).
• Hands‑on experience with application performance monitoring and observability tools, particularly AppDynamics, to ensure system reliability and performance optimization.
• Proven ability to apply software design principles, patterns, and best practices in application architecture and development.
