Expertise in designing robust, scalable, and maintainable APIs, and experience with API versioning, pagination, and error handling best practices. Experience with OAuth, JWT, and API security best practices (rate limiting, CORS, etc.). is a plus. Good understanding of PostgreSQL and relational databases. Proven ability to build scalable, maintainable APIs and develop tools for testing, debugging, and monitoring API performance. Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and containerized deployments to streamline API development, testing, and release processes.
