6. Creating performant, scalable backend APIs using Node.js to support CMS functionalities and dynamic content delivery.
7. Optimising the platform for performance, scalability, and maintainability.

Collaboration & Documentation

1. Working closely with frontend and backend specialists to modernise content management capabilities.
2. Creating clear and comprehensive documentation for CMS workflows, APIs, and related systems.
3. Troubleshooting and resolving issues in the CMS and API layers, minimising disruptions and enhancing user experience.
4. Maintaining excellent relationships with the Development Team, Project Managers, Quality Assurance team, and other stakeholders.
