- Contribute to frontend development when needed (React and React Native)

- Evolve our IoT ingestion pipelines using AWS IoT Core, MQTT, Redis, BullMQ

- Build new features on top of our modern architecture and support the gradual modernization of existing components

- Work with databases including PostgreSQL, and occasionally MySQL and MongoDB, designing scalable schemas and efficient queries

- Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to deliver reliable, secure, and maintainable solutions

- Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical decision-making

- Contribute to our growing AI Agent ecosystem by integrating backend services with LLM-based workflows and internal MCP tooling

- Help improve our DevOps, CI/CD, and observability capabilities
