• Write application logic in JavaScript following React and Next.js patterns across both the Pages Router (SSG/ISR via getStaticProps / getServerSideProps) and the App Router (React Server Components, nested layouts, server/client components).
• Contribute to and extend the front‑end architecture and shared component library, documented in Storybook.
• Monitor and improve front‑end performance and Core Web Vitals.
• Write and maintain tests: unit/component tests with Jest + React Testing Library, E2E/regression tests with Cypress, and visual regressions with Storybook + Chromatic.

• Strong experience with Tailwind CSS.
• Experience consuming GraphQL APIs, ideally with Apollo Client.
• Previous experience creating or maintaining a design system / shared component library.
• Experience with component‑driven development and Storybook.
• Experience with automated testing – unit/component (Jest, React Testing Library) and E2E (Cypress).
• Familiarity with UI/visual regression testing practices.
• Experience with browser‑based debugging and performance/profiling tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse).
• Experience with CI/CD tools and Git‑based workflows.
• Good understanding of responsive design, cross‑browser compatibility, and web accessibility (a11y).
• Excellent troubleshooting skills, plus good collaboration, communication, and time‑management skills.

Nice to have

• Experience migrating a Next.js codebase from the Pages Router to the App Router.
• Experience with internationalization (i18n) and building RTL (Arabic) interfaces.
• Experience in e‑commerce / headless commerce (e.g., Magento) and integrating payment providers (e.g., Adyen, Checkout.com).
• Familiarity with feature flag / A/B testing tools (e.g., GrowthBook).
• Familiarity with TypeScript.
