- Data Pipelining: Develop high-performance data ingestion and processing pipelines for large-scale catalog data.
- System Reliability : Implement and own systems for robust error handling, retries, idempotency, rate limiting, and monitoring across all external integrations.
- Real-Time Systems: Work on near-real-time systems for critical data, such as inventory, pricing, and order status updates.

- Integrations: Proven experience building or working with external integrations (APIs, webhooks, third-party systems).
- Messaging: Experience with message queues (Kafka / SQS) and asynchronous processing patterns.
- Data: Solid understanding of relational databases and data modelling.
- Cloud & Tools: Familiarity with AWS services, cloud-native development, and tools for monitoring, logging, and debugging production systems.
