  • Ensure data security, secure endpoints, and follow secure coding practices.
  • Be proactive in identifying security vulnerabilities and remediating them (OWASP awareness is expected).
  • 6. Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

  • API specifications (OpenAPI / Swagger)
  • Architecture diagrams and integration maps
  • Deployment and runbooks
