• Build efficient data access layers across (SQL, NoSQL, and Redis, etc**)** databases, choosing the right storage for each use case.
• Develop clean, well-tested Python code following backend and cloud best practices.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for cloud workloads.

• Familiar with RESTful APIs, web protocols, and distributed systems concepts.
• Experience with DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and monitoring tools.
• Understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles is a plus.
• Team-oriented, proactive communicator, comfortable working in a collaborative environment.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
