and maintain. Work with RESTful APIs and gRPC to ensure efficient communication
between services.

Cloud-Native Architecture: Leverage AWS technologies (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS,
DynamoDB) and containerization tools like Kubernetes to build and optimize scalable
solutions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with product managers, architects, and
other engineering teams to ensure your modules align with business requirements and
integrate smoothly into the larger system.

Performance & Scalability: Focus on optimizing performance and scalability, ensuring
that services can handle high-volume data streams and concurrent users, which is
critical in OTT/streaming services.

Mentorship: Provide guidance and support to junior engineers, helping them with
technical growth and fostering a collaborative and learning-focused team environment.

Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the continuous improvement of code quality,
processes, and tools. Advocate for best practices and help implement automation and
innovation within your team.

Quality Assurance: Ensure code quality by participating in code reviews, writing unit
tests, and helping to implement modern CI/CD practices to ensure smooth releases.
Troubleshooting & Incident Resolution: Work on resolving complex issues and
incidents in production. Troubleshoot and provide timely resolutions for critical backend
problems.
