- Low-Code Platform Exploration (optional): Leverage low-code platforms (e.g., OutSystems) to accelerate development cycles where applicable.
- Front-End Collaboration: Collaborate with front-end developers, contributing to front-end work if needed using frameworks like Vue.js, React, or Angular.
- Technical Leadership: Mentor team members, drive code reviews, and ensure adherence to best practices and coding standards.
- Problem Solving: Identify and resolve technical challenges, providing innovative solutions aligned with business objectives.

- Proven experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP).
