• You’re a motivated software engineer who enjoys building user-facing products and is eager to continue learning in a collaborative environment. You’re comfortable contributing to team delivery and take pride in writing clean, maintainable code.
• You’ll likely bring:
• Experience building frontend applications using modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue, React, or similar)
• Working knowledge of TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
• An understanding of frontend best practices (performance, testing, maintainability)
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to learn from others
• The ability to contribute to well-defined projects and improve your area over time
