* Experience working with databases (SQL and NoSQL — e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis).
* Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes, AWS).
* Proven track record in cross-functional collaboration, especially with AI or UI/UX teams.
* Exposure to Open search.
* Experience with streaming or real-time event systems for AI-driven analytics.
* Understanding of frontend-backend communication patterns and API gateway design.
* Knowledge of Reactive programming (Reactor, WebFlux).
* Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry).
* Experience building internal developer platforms or SDKs to improve cross-team efficiency.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
