  • Design the infrastructure of the app, including databases, caching, backend jobs, CI pipelines, micro services as needed.
  • Ensure that the app is secure. We work with sensitive data for our clients.
  • Work with our data scientists so that our machine learned models can work with the app.
  • Develop and deploy the app in production.
  • Maintain the app.
  • Do the above for potentially multiple apps in parallel.
