- Architect backend services and Lambda functions with scalability and efficiency in mind
- Collaborate on AI/LLM features (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), including agent workflows and automation
- Build intuitive frontends using TailwindCSS and modern UI frameworks
- Integrate with third-party ERP systems like NetSuite or CIN7 to streamline data flows
- Contribute to the design of agentic orchestration systems that drive business logic and task automation
