• Contribute within a structured development framework led by a tech architect
• Apply modern web best practices (performance, accessibility, SEO, responsive design, progressive enhancement)
• Build scalable, maintainable solutions with minimal oversight
• Translate design specifications into clean, functional builds
• Build custom UI components instead of relying on prebuilt libraries

We’re not looking for:

• Developers needing close supervision or mentoring
• Anyone lacking production experience with consumer-facing applications
• Those who don’t use AI tools in their workflows

Core Technical Requirements:

• React JS (multiple production projects)
