AuthN/AuthZ: Implement OAuth/JWT, RBAC, scopes, token flows, and secure identity boundaries. Data Architecture: Design efficient SQL schemas and queries; understand NoSQL modeling and storage decisions. Independent Technical Execution: Research new technologies independently, make clear trade-off decisions, and defend architectural choices.
