Event-driven and streaming architectures
Hybrid data storage strategies (relational and NoSQL)
Collaborate with architects and cross-functional teams to influence and evolve system architecture
Independently drive system design decisions, balancing scalability, reliability, performance, and cost
Build and maintain applications using Python (backend services, data pipelines) and React (frontend user experiences)
Develop and operate cloud-native solutions in Azure leveraging Kubernetes
Design and implement data workflows using Airflow or DAG-based orchestration frameworks
Work across modern data ecosystems, including:
MongoDB or similar NoSQL systems
Snowflake or comparable analytical data platforms

Contribute to agentic and intelligent automation solutions, enabling adaptive and decision-driven workflows
Partner with data scientists and analysts to productionize models and support experimentation frameworks
Apply statistical thinking or data science concepts to improve system effectiveness (where applicable)
Build strong, collaborative relationships across engineering, product, data, and architecture teams
Actively contribute to and lead design discussions and code reviews
Mentor and support other engineers, promoting best practices and continuous improvement
Provide clear communication on progress, risks, and technical decisions
