- Implement state synchronization mechanisms (presence, session state, ephemeral locks)
- Design fault-tolerant and eventually consistent systems for real-time updates
- Develop scalable REST, gRPC and real-time APIs consumed by web and desktop clients
- Ensure high availability, observability, and resilience under heavy load
- Collaborate with frontend and platform teams to deliver seamless collaboration experiences
- Contribute to design reviews, architecture discussions, and technical strategy

- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building real-time systems:
- WebSockets, Pub/Sub, streaming architectures
- Experience with collaborative systems:
- Presence, session management, locking
- Understanding of event ordering, deduplication, and idempotency strategies
- Experience designing low-latency, high-throughput systems
- Knowledge of caching strategies and distributed data stores (Redis, DynamoDB patterns)
