**System Design:** Architect end\-to\-end solutions that are scalable, resilient, and secure, utilizing microservices, serverless, or modular monolith patterns as appropriate.
**Hands\-on Development:** Lead by example by contributing to critical\-path code, developing POCs (Proof of Concepts).
**Tech Stack Ownership:** Evaluate and select frontend frameworks, backend languages, and database technologies. Stay ahead of 2026 trends (e.g., AI integration, Edge computing).
**Cloud \& DevOps Strategy:** Design CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure (Azure/GCP) that emphasize automation, observability, and cost\-efficiency. Mainly looking for Azure/GCP skills.
**Security \& Compliance:** Ensure "security by design" is baked into the application layer (OAuth, JWT, data encryption, and OWASP standards).

Proficiency in at least two major ecosystems (e.g., **Node.js/TypeScript, Go, Python/FastAPI**).
