• Design and implement secure authentication, authorization, and encryption mechanisms to protect sensitive vehicle and financing data.

• Collaborate with embedded and electrical teams to integrate backend services with physical on-vehicle hardware (IoT/telematics).

• Define and operate cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes as the sole owner of the backend platform.

• Integrate backend services with mobile and web-based tools for end users, internal administrators, and merchant/point-of-sale systems.

• Provide technical leadership on architecture decisions, framework choices, and long-term platform strategy.

• Establish best practices for code quality, testing, logging, and system observability as the platform scales.
