• Designing, developing, and maintaining scalable backend services using NestJS, Node.js, and TypeScript
• Taking ownership of technical design, architecture decisions, and implementation of new features
• Building and integrating mobile application functionality using React Native and Expo
• Implementing secure authentication and authorisation solutions using Auth0
• Creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines to support efficient and reliable deployments
• Designing and optimising PostgreSQL database schemas and queries
• Leveraging Redis for caching, session management, and performance improvements
• Containerising applications with Docker and managing deployments within AWS ECS
• Collaborating with engineers, architects, and platform teams to ensure alignment across systems and services
