o Transaction orchestration

o Smart contract invocation

o Blockchain event subscription/listening

o On-chain/off-chain data synchronization

• Implement scalable APIs (REST/gRPC) for blockchain-enabled products and integrations.

• Optimize performance for high throughput and low latency:

o Transaction throughput handling, batching, retries, idempotency, rate limiting.

• Ensure secure integration with blockchain:

o Key management best practices, signing transactions, secure secret handling.

• Implement observability and reliability standards:

o Logging, monitoring, tracing, alerting, SLOs/SLAs.

• Work with DevOps/SRE teams to support production deployments, incident triage, and capacity planning.

• Contribute to architecture decisions including:

o Event-driven architecture (Kafka/RabbitMQ), caching strategies, database selection, and deployment topologies.
