  • Documentation: Produce and maintain technical documentation. Experience creating clear API documentation using Swagger / OpenAPI.
  • Planning: Contribute to technology and platform roadmaps.

  • API Integration: Deep understanding of RESTful API design, JSON, and secure authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, JWT, API Keys).
  • Automation & Messaging: Experience with background workers, CRON jobs, or message brokers (e.g., RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus).
  • DevOps & Cloud: Familiarity with Git version control, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud hosting (Azure or AWS)., * A proactive and collaborative mindset.
  • A passion for building reliable, scalable solutions and tools.
  • A commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
