You will collaborate closely with core platform developers, security specialists, and AI researchers to build scalable, secure, and resilient web architectures across cloud and on-premise deployments. You will work with modern web technologies such as React, Node.js, and major cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, or AWS) to build scalable, secure, and efficient solutions.
