• Optimize system performance by identifying and resolving bottlenecks, reducing latency, and ensuring our infrastructure can handle a global, high-concurrency user base.
• Contribute to the evolution of our technical roadmap, evaluating and adopting new technologies to keep our platform at the cutting edge.

• 4+ years of professional experience in backend development, with a proven track record of designing and building large-scale, distributed systems.
