- Build and enhance backend services across enterprise platforms, including Salesforce and cloud environments (e.g., AWS/Azure)
- Implement API-based integrations and event-driven workflows following established architectural patterns
- Develop domain logic and service layers, leveraging platforms such as Salesforce (Apex) as a backend runtime within a distributed system
- Contribute to system design discussions and support the implementation of scalable and maintainable solutions
- Implement solutions that support performance, scalability, and data processing requirements (e.g., bulk and asynchronous patterns)
- Contribute to the software development lifecycle, including development, testing, CI/CD, deployment, and production support
- Maintain and enhance CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Salesforce CLI)
- Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting to support system observability and reliability
