• Optimization & Security: Proactively identify and resolve application performance bottlenecks (focusing on Core Web Vitals) and implement strict security protocols appropriate for a banking environment (e.g., secure data handling, input validation, OIDC/OAuth2 flows).
• Quality & Collaboration: Drive high-quality outcomes through rigorous automated testing (unit and E2E tests using Jest/Cypress) and active participation in code reviews and Agile ceremonies.
• Optional Full-Stack Contribution: Utilize experience with Node.js and NestJS to assist in integration testing or light backend-for-frontend (BFF) layer modifications where needed.
