• Design and maintain PostgreSQL-backed, multi-tenant data models, including schema migrations and tenant isolation.
• Integrate security throughout the lifecycle: authentication/authorization (OAuth2/OIDC), RBAC, and CI/CD practices.
• Build and maintain real-time data and event pipelines (SSE/websockets) and integrations with third-party data providers.
• Work cross-functionally with engineering, data science, and underwriting teams to apply software development best practices.
