• Knowledge of architecture patterns, integration technologies, APIs, middleware platforms, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native solutions.
• Familiarity with platform configuration, extension frameworks, data migration, and enterprise system integration approaches.
• Experience working within onshore/offshore delivery models and collaborating with clients, system integrators, and third-party vendors.
