• Review generated code for correctness, clarity, modularity, and use of modern JavaScript practices.
• Examine explanations of algorithmic solutions and judge the validity of their reasoning.
• Run scripts in Node.js or a browser console to verify outputs and performance.
• Spot inefficient implementations, deprecated syntax, fabricated library methods, memory issues, and security risks.
• Offer organized feedback on AI reasoning about frontend and backend architecture.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral qualification in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related area.
• Professional experience building scalable applications with JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Confidence independently solving medium-to-hard coding challenges in JavaScript.
• Expert knowledge of event-loop behavior, closures, prototypes, promises, and async/await.
• Careful code review skills, with a focus on subtle functional, quality, and security problems.
• Relevant familiarity with web frameworks, testing and bundling tools, and API design, such as React, Node.js, Vue, Angular, Jest, Cypress, Webpack, Vite, REST, or GraphQL.
