• Strong proficiency in JavaScript with solid experience in full-stack development.
• Expertise in modern web frameworks such as React, TypeScript, and GraphQL.
• Identify and codify React performance best practices, architectural trade-offs, and code-level improvements in the existing codebase.
• Experience with at least one backend language/framework (e.g., Node.js, Java, Python)

• Demonstrated ability to lead technically within distributed, cross-functional teams.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot) as a core part of daily engineering workflow.
• Track record of driving AI adoption within engineering teams - establishing best practices, defining guardrails, evaluating tools, and measurably improving team velocity through AI-assisted workflows (a strong plus).

• Apply best practices in DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud-native engineering to improve delivery efficiency.
• Mentor and coach engineers, raising the technical bar across the team.
• Collaborate with globally distributed teams and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Drive innovation by evaluating and adopting emerging technologies where relevant.
• Build and integrate intelligent features into the platform, leveraging LLMs, agents, and AI frameworks where they add user value.
