API contracts, versioning, idempotency, webhooks and backward compatibility for enterprise clients in production.

• Data & third-party integrations — Verification and financial data provider integrations with retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, vendor failover and reconciliation of per-call vendor cost against usage. MongoDB and PostgreSQL schema and index design, query tuning, backup/restore and recovery testing. Retention, masking and least-privilege access to KYC and financial PII.

• Infrastructure & reliability — AWS estate: containerised workloads, load balancing, auto-scaling. Observability via Grafana/Loki/Alloy, alerting, log retention and logging-spend control. Incident response and RCA against client uptime commitments
