Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain backend services using NestJS (TypeScript), following modular and maintainable architecture.
- Design and implement RESTful APIs, ensuring consistent response shapes and robust error handling using custom exception filters.
- Work with Prisma ORM for database access, leveraging custom client extensions for type safety and reusable operations.

- Enforce authorization at both controller and service layers.
- Apply DTO validation using Zod schemas and
ZodPipe. - Support i18n using i18next, following naming conventions and structure for translation keys.

- Document APIs using Swagger/OpenAPI decorators.
Requirements

- Familiarity with monorepo tools (Nx) and modular code organization.
- Understanding of i18n and localization strategies.
- Experience with API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI).
- Knowledge of error handling, logging, and security in backend systems.
