Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI)

Go (Gin, Echo)

• CI/CD Pipelines: Contribute to automated build, test, and deployment workflows using tools like GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
• Containerization & Orchestration: Containerize services with Docker and help maintain Kubernetes (or similar) clusters for staging/production.
• Monitoring & Alerts: Set up logging, metrics, and alerts (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry) to ensure uptime and fast incident response.

Collaboration & Communication

• Cross‑Functional Sprints: Attend daily stand‑ups and backlog grooming sessions with product management and frontend teams to clarify requirements and dependencies.
• Code Reviews: Participate in peer reviews; provide constructive feedback and learn from senior engineers to uphold high code quality standards.

Testing & Quality Assurance

• Unit & Integration Tests: Write automated tests (pytest, Jest, Go’s testing package) to cover new code and reduce regressions.
• Performance Tuning: Profile endpoints, identify bottlenecks, and optimize database queries or service logic for speed and efficiency.

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

• Technical Docs: Maintain up‑to‑date API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI) and internal runbooks for deployment and incident response.
• Mentorship: Share learnings and best practices with fellow junior developers through brown‑bag sessions or internal wikis.
