• Work with Azure cloud resources, including Azure Service Bus (queues, topics, message brokers) to build distributed, event-driven systems.
• Implement secure coding practices following OWASP guidelines.
• Participate in systems design and architecture, including repository patterns, concurrency handling, and domain modelling.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in an agile environment.
• Support production systems, troubleshoot issues, and contribute to continuous improvement.
