real-time services to support scalable platform operations.
● Collaborate with frontend and blockchain teams to ensure smooth
integration between UI, backend APIs, and on-chain functionality.
● Improve backend performance, reliability, security, and
observability across the platform.
● Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to
production deployment workflows.

Responsibilities
