- Performance Engineering: Provide expert guidance on performance tuning (JVM heap settings, thread pool management), high availability, and fault-tolerant circuit breaker patterns (e.g., Resilience4j).
- DevOps & CI/CD: Ownership of automated build and deployment pipelines, ensuring that OMS extensions and microservices are deployed via Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.
- Strategic Collaboration: Work with Application Managers and business stakeholders to translate complex supply chain requirements into lean, technical functional designs.
