• Optimizing database queries and resolving performance bottlenecks
• Supporting React Native mobile applications through stable backend services

• Familiarity with CI/CD workflows
• Experience supporting mobile applications from a backend perspective
• Experience with real-time data handling (websockets, event broadcasting, etc.)
