• Use Playwright to implement and maintain automated UI tests
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to documentation and architectural standards
• Maintain version control using Git and GitHub (branches, PRs, issue tracking)

Required Skills & Experience:

• 3+ years of JavaScript frontend development experience
• 2+ years of Vue.js in production, with preference for Vue 3 and Composition API
• Strong knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and responsive UI design
