• Own API contracts (REST/OpenAPI): versioning, backward compatibility, and smooth integrations across teams and systems.
• Deliver with confidence using CI/CD and engineering best practices (code reviews, quality gates, automated testing, standards).
• Act as a senior technical reference : collaborate with product/stakeholders, mentor teammates, and support production with incident handling + root-cause improvements.
