• Optimize high-traffic Node.js services for vertical and horizontal scaling (thousands of RPS).

• Deep dive into performance bottlenecks and squeeze every millisecond out of the stack.

• Work directly with self-managed infrastructure handling terabytes of data - no “click-to-scale” cloud abstractions here.

Embrace AI-Assisted Development to Revolutionize Workflow

• Champion tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other AI coding helpers to boost quality and speed.

• Experiment with emerging AI solutions and share learnings across the team.

• Continuously refine processes so we ship smarter, not just harder.
