- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git/GitHub).
- Understanding of web service architecture, microservice design patterns, and API best practices.
- Experience with authentication frameworks (OAuth, token-based).
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related STEM field (or equivalent experience).
Preferred (Nice-to-Have Skills):
- Experience with API gateways.
- Expertise in FastAPI performance tuning and scaling for high-volume microservices.
