Implement REST/GraphQL endpoints, batch and streaming jobs, and integration adapters.
Write efficient SQL/NoSQL queries; optimize schema, indexing, and data flows (ETL / CDC where needed).
Automate builds, testing, packaging, and deployments (CI/CD pipelines).
Create Linux shell/Python scripts for ops tasks, environment automation, and diagnostics.
Embed security (authN/Z, input validation, secrets management, TLS) and compliance controls.
Implement unit, integration, contract, and performance tests; enforce quality gates.
Add observability: structured logs, metrics, traces, health checks, dashboards, alerts.
