Design and maintain RESTful APIs, webhook systems, and third-party integrations (e.g., Stripe, AWS, Salesforce), ensuring resilience, idempotency, and observability across external service boundaries.
Collaborate closely with frontend and platform teams to ensure seamless integration between services, focusing on contract-driven development and clear API boundaries.
