• Comfortable collaborating remotely using tools like Slack, BitBucket, Asana, and GSuite.
• A growth mindset and passion for learning new tools, frameworks, and trends.

Nice-to-Have Experience

• Exposure to PHP, Laravel, or Dart / Flutter.
• Experience with frontend tooling such as Tailwind CSS, Webpack, PostCSS, or SCSS.
• Familiarity with NestJS, React, or Angular.
• Experience integrating with third-party services and APIs (e.g., Google Location API, PayFast).
• Knowledge of mobile development frameworks (e.g., Flutter).
• Awareness of UI performance, security best practices, and accessibility.

Tech Stack You'll Be Working With

Frontend : Vue.js, Tailwind, TypeScript, SCSS

Backend : Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, MySQL

DevOps & Tools : Docker, AWS, GCP, BitBucket Pipelines

Bonus : Laravel, Flutter, Dart, SVG / D3.js, REST APIs

• Team Meet – Final chat with the wider team to experience the vibe and alignment.
