• Expertise in modern front-end frameworks (React preferred), build tooling, and testing frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, web performance optimization, and accessibility standards.
• Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills.
• Experience with mobile-web and responsive web frameworks.
  
  
  

Nice to have:
