Key Responsibilities

Microservices Architecture & Development

• Design, develop, and maintain microservices using framework following RESTful API principles
• Build event-driven, scalable microservices architecture to support high-volume transaction processing
• Implement service-to-service communication patterns (REST, message queues, event streaming)
• Ensure loose coupling and high cohesion across microservices boundaries
• Design and implement API gateway patterns and service mesh architectures

Payment & Transaction Processing

• Develop secure payment processing services integrating with multiple payment gateways (TSYS, Fluidpay, Ingenico)
• Build transaction management services handling authorizations, voids, refunds, and settlements
• Implement idempotency and retry mechanisms for critical payment workflows
• Design real-time transaction processing pipelines with MongoDB change streams

Integration & API Development

• Build robust API endpoints consumed by Android app and web admin dashboard
• Integrate with third-party systems including CRM platforms, authentication services, and carrier systems
• Develop webhook handlers and event processors for asynchronous integrations
• Create and maintain comprehensive API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI)

Database Design & Optimization

• Design and optimize MongoDB schemas for high-performance read/write operations
• Implement data modeling best practices for document-based databases
• Build efficient aggregation pipelines and indexing strategies
• Ensure data consistency across distributed services using appropriate patterns (sagas, two-phase commits)

Security & Compliance

• Implement security best practices including encryption at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+)
• Ensure PII data protection and PCI-DSS compliance requirements
• Build authentication and authorization mechanisms (JWT, OAuth 2.0, OTP-based flows)
• Implement rate limiting, request throttling, and security hardening measures
• Conduct security audits and vulnerability assessments

DevOps & Deployment

• Containerize microservices using Docker and orchestrate with Kubernetes
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment
• Set up monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (ELK stack, Prometheus, Grafana)
