  • Platform Integrations
    Leads complex third-party integrations—such as Deliverect, POS systems, and

payment providers—expanding our platform’s capabilities and client onboarding potential.

  • System Architecture & Optimization
    Designs modular and testable code with performance, security, and scalability in mind. Regularly optimizes queries and improves backend efficiency in a high-volume, real-time environment.
  • Agile Collaboration & Delivery
    Participates in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, collaborates closely with Product, QA, and Front-End teams, and contributes to sprint planning, technical estimation, and ongoing product improvement.
