• Write clean, testable, well-documented code and participate actively in code review 
• Perform unit and integration testing across backend services and API layers 
• Support deployment, monitoring, and performance of backend services in production on AWS 
• Apply and promote best software engineering practices within an agile framework 
• Use Git and GitHub for version control, branching, pull requests, and collaborative development
