Design and maintain secure APIs and processes for data exchange with business partners.
Ensure the secure handling of sensitive information and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

Implement monitoring, alerting, and ensure consistency and stability across development, staging, and production environments.
Support the integration of Machine Learning models with backend services and mobile applications.
Participate in model versioning and training environment management processes.
Lead infrastructure and service migrations (including email, DNS, and related services) while ensuring business continuity.
Apply software quality best practices, automated testing, and release validation before every production deployment.
