• Work with API authentication mechanisms such as OAuth 2.0, API keys and access tokens.
• Handle pagination, rate limits, retries and API failures.
• Design and consume webhooks.
• Analyse API requests, responses and error messages.
• Develop data mapping and transformation logic between different platforms.
• Ensure integrations are idempotent and do not create duplicate transactions.
• Maintain compatibility with third‑party API changes and version upgrades.

Production Troubleshooting

• Investigate production incidents using application logs, database records and monitoring tools.
• Identify root causes instead of applying temporary fixes.
• Analyse performance issues, memory problems, connection pool exhaustion and slow database queries.
• Troubleshoot intermittent API, webhook, scheduler and queue‑related failures.
• Provide technical findings to support, QA and operations teams.
• Implement permanent corrective and preventive actions.
• Participate in critical incident resolution when required.

Database Development

• Design and maintain MySQL database structures.
• Write and optimise SQL queries.
• Create appropriate indexes and analyse execution plans.
• Handle large‑volume data processing efficiently.
• Identify duplicate, inconsistent or incomplete records.
• Work safely with production data and database migrations.
• Understand transactions, locking, isolation levels and concurrency.

Code Quality and Reviews

• Review code written by other developers.
• Identify defects, security issues, performance risks and maintainability concerns.
• Enforce coding standards and engineering best practices.
• Write unit and integration tests.
• Ensure adequate test coverage for critical workflows.
• Participate in pull‑request reviews and release validation.
• Mentor junior and mid‑level developers.

Performance and Scalability

• Design systems that can process high‑volume orders and API transactions.
• Improve scheduler, batch and queue‑processing efficiency.
• Identify memory, CPU, thread and database bottlenecks.
• Design asynchronous processing where appropriate.
• Ensure that services fail safely and recover correctly.
• Support horizontal and vertical scaling decisions.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with product analysts, business analysts, QA engineers and support teams.
• Understand business requirements and convert them into technical solutions.
• Clarify technical feasibility, dependencies and risks.
• Support QA in preparing technical and integration test scenarios.
• Provide technical estimates and implementation plans.
• Communicate delays, risks and blockers clearly.

• Quality and reliability of delivered code.
• Reduction in recurring production issues.
• Accuracy of root‑cause analysis.
• Timely delivery of assigned modules.
• Quality of code reviews.
• Performance improvements in assigned services.
• Reduction in integration failures.
• Unit and integration test coverage.
• Effectiveness in mentoring junior developers.
