• Maintain SSL certificates (Let's Encrypt/Certbot), configure CDN services, and manage environment variables, configuration, and secrets.
• Monitor production systems and troubleshoot issues as they arise.

Security & Compliance

• Apply OWASP security best practices throughout the development lifecycle, including proper validation, sanitization, and Content Security Policies.
• Conduct regular security reviews and audits.
• Maintain awareness of applicable regulations, including TCPA, CCPA, and GDPR.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Mentorship

• Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions and communicate project status, risks, and blockers to stakeholders.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, SOPs, and runbooks.
• Provide mentorship and code-review feedback to other developers on the team.

Requirements:
