• Support the integration of Machine Learning models with backend services and mobile applications.

• Participate in model versioning and training environment management processes.

• Lead infrastructure and service migrations (including email, DNS, and related services) while ensuring business continuity.

• Apply software quality best practices, automated testing, and release validation before every production deployment.

• Actively contribute to technical decisions related to architecture, scalability, performance, and security.

• Strong experience in backend development using TypeScript.

• Extensive experience with PostgreSQL, including:

  • Schema design
  • Query optimization
