  • Conduct code reviews, provide technical guidance, and mentor junior and mid-level developers to foster a culture of best practices and continuous improvement.
  • Optimize application performance, scalability, and security.
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve complex software defects and technical issues.

  • Minimum of 6 years of progressive experience in software development roles.
  • Strong proficiency in one or more object-oriented programming languages (e.g., C#, Java, Python) with a proven track record of developing enterprise-level applications.
  • Extensive experience with relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) including complex query writing, stored procedures, and database design.
  • Demonstrable experience with API development (RESTful, SOAP) and integrating disparate systems.
  • Solid understanding of software architecture patterns (e.g., MVC, Microservices) and design principles.
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
  • Proficiency in front-end development frameworks and libraries (e.g., Angular, React, Vue.js) would be highly advantageous.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) is a strong plus.
  • Proven ability to work independently and as part of a team, managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Desired Skills & Experience (Advantageous):
