• Performing testing and quality assurance activities on different browsers and devices to ensure compatibility and responsiveness.

• Implementing performance improvement strategies, testing, and measuring application performance

• Mentoring other team members, sharing knowledge and experience, and helping improve our team's abilities in the process.

• Ensuring the quality of code by writing comprehensive tests and participating in code reviews.

What you’ll bring

• Expert knowledge of modern syntax JavaScript, React, Redux, and RTK Query.

• Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript and CSS3.

• Familiarity with modern application architecture and design patterns.

• Excellent understanding of the complete software development life cycle.

• Strong Computer Science fundamentals and problem-solving skills.
