• Practical experience in modern front-end technologies including TypeScript, React, and CSS.
• Experience architecting solutions using cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS.
• Competency with standard development and collaboration tools (e.g., Git, GitLab, CI/CD workflows).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; you’re comfortable discussing technical trade-offs with both engineers and non-technical colleagues.
• Bonus: A portfolio, GitHub profile, or examples of personal projects that showcase your technical abilities and creativity.
