Design complex serverless orchestration: function chaining, fan-out/fan-in workflows, connection pooling, and scalability optimization.
Design API gateway policies: request/response pipelines, hierarchical policy scopes (global, API, endpoint), authentication/authorization mechanisms, and transformation/caching policies.
Design and implement database replication (master-slave) and high availability/failover strategies.
Design multi-container applications using Docker Compose, manage volumes for data persistence, configure container networking, port mapping, and environment variables.
Drive CI/CD pipeline practices and source control workflows across the team.
Secure AI API keys and model endpoints: key rotation, rate limiting, endpoint authentication, TLS, usage monitoring, cost controls, and IP allow listing.
Design agent authentication and authorization: agent identity management, service-to-service auth, credential rotation, and inter-agent communication security.
Understand and apply vulnerability scanning approaches (SAST, DAST, SCA) and tools (SonarQube, Snyk).
Enforce sound software engineering practices: iterative development, code reviews, unit testing, integration testing, and automation testing.
Review and sign-off on functional and technical specifications; monitor deliverables vs. specifications and provide corrective actions.
Champion best practices in design patterns, SOLID principles, and clean architecture.
Mentor and train team members on software design, design patterns, SOLID principles, and emerging technologies.
Conduct code reviews that are educational — raise the engineering bar for the whole team.
Assess team capabilities and advise the Technical Project Lead on task assignments based on technical strengths.
Provide technical feasibility assessments and effort estimates for scope reviews and change requests.
Supply technical input for risk assessments, status reports, and delivery decisions.
Support client-facing technical discussions and demos when deep technical context is needed.
