• Back-End & AI: Develop server-side logic in C# for Sitecore customizations. Utilize Python for data-intensive tasks, machine learning integrations, and custom APIs.
• Database & DevOps: Manage SQL Server and NoSQL databases; participate in CI/CD pipelines using Git and Azure DevOps/Jenkins.
• Collaboration: Work closely with UX/UI designers to ensure the technical feasibility of high-fidelity animations and modular UI elements.
