- Develop robust, scalable RESTful APIs using Django Rest Framework to support the front-end application.
- Implement new user-facing features and build reusable components using React.js.
- Translate UI/UX prototypes and wireframes from our JupyterLab environment into high-performance, production-grade code.
- Design and manage database schemas and data models for our application (e.g., using PostgreSQL).
- Ensure the performance, quality, and responsiveness of the full application stack.
- Work within our container-based development workflow using OCI tools like Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo in a Linux environment.
- Write clean, well-documented code for both the front-end and back-end, and participate actively in peer code reviews
