Collaborate with product managers, business stakeholders, and development teams to understand requirements and translate them into robust technical solutions.

Develop and maintain architectural standards, including best practices for data modeling, APIs, and system integration.

Evaluate and recommend technologies, identifying the most suitable frameworks (e.g., Spring, Node.js, Python, or others) to balance performance, scalability, and business needs.

Act as a technical expert in e-commerce solutions, ensuring the platform meets business and performance requirements.

Stay hands-on with the codebase when needed, providing guidance to development teams, managing technical debt, and ensuring high-quality standards.
