• Use Postman to validate APIs, mock services, and support QA workflows
• Collaborate with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and deployments
• Monitor and debug production systems using logs, metrics, and traces
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical decision-making
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers when needed

• Excellent English communication skills (verbal and written, 100% Bilingual preferred)
• Strong ownership mindset and ability to propose better architectures

Nice to Haves:
While not required, experience with the following will set you apart:
