- Expertise in modern frontend 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.
