- Engineering Best Practices: Dedication to writing clean, maintainable code with unit/integration tests, participating in code reviews, and collaborating via Azure DevOps (or Git-based CI/CD).
Strongly Preferred:
- Multi-Tenant SaaS: Experience architecting multi-tenant SaaS platforms with strict data isolation, high scalability, and robust security.
- Concurrency & Messaging: Experience with high-throughput systems, message queuing, batching, idempotency, backpressure handling, or database contention mitigation.
