• Performance & Code Optimization :
• Identify and resolve backend performance bottlenecks using New Relic, APM tools, and code profiling.
• Optimize cron schedules, catalog indexing, and database queries to improve backend responsiveness.
• Collaborate with DevOps for infrastructure-aware tuning (e.G., build / deploy optimization, cache warm-up).
