• Implement and support micro front-end patterns (composition, shared libraries, module federation or equivalent approaches).
• Design, build, document, and consume RESTful APIs; ensure service contracts and versioning strategies are followed.
• Work with SQL Server and optimize queries, indexes, and data access patterns.
• Implement search and indexing solutions with Elasticsearch.
• Build event-driven integrations using Kafka (producers/consumers, topics, schema/versioning awareness).
• Use GitHub / Bitbucket and contribute to automated CI/CD pipelines (build, test, deploy).
• Write unit and integration tests; participate in code reviews and engineering best-practice adoption.
