• Authentication and authorisation patterns (JWT, OAuth, RBAC) and API security.
• Cloud engineering: edge functions, CDN configuration, serverless architecture, container orchestration.
• Full-stack test automation: unit, API/integration, component, and E2E testing.
• Performance optimisation: caching, query optimisation, code splitting, monitoring.
• REST and/or GraphQL API design.
• Demonstrated ability to orchestrate AI development tools through strategic prompting and quality oversight.

TECHNOLOGIES

Deep understanding of the following technologies is essential:

• Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js, Express, Hono, Python, FastAPI, Flask.
• Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS.
