- Design secure, scalable, and resilient Azure architectures
- Work on microservices, APIs, background workers, and integrations
- Implement Azure-native monitoring, alerts, and logging
- Partner with business stakeholders to translate requirements into solutions
- Coordinate with offshore teams and own delivery quality

- Traffic Manager (DNS-based routing & failover)
- Secure access patterns (no public endpoints by default)
Authentication & Authorization
- Azure AD / OAuth2 / JWT
- App registrations, scopes, roles, claims

- Comfortable reviewing React code and enforcing standards
