Collaborating with frontend engineers and discussing quirks in network protocols and network interconnection translating to rapid updates and code improvements.
Collaborating with internal teams to surface data to users from other applications.
Reviewing merge requests from other developers and providing thoughtful feedback where appropriate.
Taking ownership of issues through the release process and partnering with QA to resolve any bugs found in testing, ensuring timely code deployments.
Responsibilities:
Backend Development: Lead the development of scalable and high-performance backend solutions using Node.js and other technologies as needed.

Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation for backend systems and integration processes.
Problem Solving: Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, ensuring the stability of backend systems.
Collaboration: Work closely with customers, frontend developers, QA engineers, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality software solutions.
