build and improve integrations with CI/CD systems such as Jenkins, GitLab, and Azure DevOps;
design and optimize functionality that is data-intensive and database-driven;
work on secure code execution and protection mechanisms, including anti-tampering and obfuscation concepts;
ensure the system’s performance, scalability, and reliability;
collaborate with distributed engineering teams across multiple products;
review code and provide guidance to engineering teams on architecture and best practices;
participate in planning and estimating short-term project scopes
