You will work closely with DevOps, QA, and frontend teams to ensure high availability, scalability, and maintainability of our services.
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and optimize high-performance backend microservices using .NET Core/C#.
- Implement distributed tracing, logging, and metrics for observability using tools like OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.
- Optimize service-to-service communication and database access to reduce latency and improve throughput.
- Write scalable SQL queries and optimize PostgreSQL usage, indexing, and connection handling.
