7. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub or comparable tools.
8. Collaborate with cross-functional teams in an Agile/Scrum environment.
9. Implement and maintain authentication and security frameworks (OAuth, token-based auth).

6. Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools.
7. Strong SQL and relational database skills.
8. Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git/GitHub).
9. Understanding of web service architecture, microservice design patterns, and API best practices.
10. Experience with authentication frameworks (OAuth, token-based).
11. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related STEM field (or equivalent experience).

Preferred (Nice-to-Have Skills):

1. Experience with API gateways.
