• Collaboration & Mentorship: Work closely with BPOs, QA, and other engineers. Provide technical mentorship to developers, training them on writing optimized Stored Procedures, clean native coding practices, and efficient memory management.
• Security & Compliance: Implement secure coding standards, particularly focusing on restricted database execution permissions. Ensure strict compliance with data protection laws and industry security standards.
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Maintain clear documentation of technical architecture, API interfaces, and database schemas. Host internal technical workshops on database performance tuning and direct-query optimization.
