• Strong understanding of RESTful and GraphQL APIs, cloud integration, identity and access management, web security, observability, performance, and resilience.
• Experience with responsive design, WCAG accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, automated testing, CI/CD, and modern build tooling.
• Demonstrated experience creating architecture documentation and communicating architecture decisions to engineering teams and senior stakeholders.
