• Frontend Contribution: Build and maintain frontend features and interfaces using React (or an equivalent modern framework), ensuring smooth integration with backend services.

• Database Architecture: Design, maintain, and optimise PostgreSQL databases, including relational data models and multi-tenant data segregation strategies (e.g., application-level tenancy vs. row-level security).

• Systems Integration: Build and maintain integrations with third-party services and internal APIs to support business workflows.

• Application Security: Apply secure software development practices, including authentication, authorization, and data segregation across tenants/clients.

• Code Quality: Produce clean, maintainable, and well-documented code while participating in peer reviews and development best practices.
