• Optimize backend logic for performance, scalability, and compliance
• Collaborate with frontend (Next.js) and Node.js services for seamless experiences
• Deliver clean, well-documented, production-ready code
   

Requirements:

• Expert in Python (async, API frameworks, data pipelines)
• Experience with AI/LLM integrations and external APIs
• Familiarity with enterprise security practices (SSO, Okta, RBAC, encryption)
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
• Ability to quickly onboard into an existing codebase
