Experience

• Demonstrated senior-level capability in front-end software engineering

Core Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React (hooks, routing, state management)

• Experience with front-end architecture, modular design, and design patterns (e.g., SOLID, separation of concerns)

• Experience contributing to system design, data flows, and API/service boundaries

• Strong testing experience (unit, integration, and end-to-end)

• Experience with automated build and deployment pipelines

• Familiarity with containerized development environments (e.g., Docker)

• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs (GraphQL is a plus)

• Understanding of performance, scalability, and resilience considerations

• Experience with shared contracts, generated types, or API client code generation is an advantage

• Exposure to cloud-native environments is a plus

Ways of Working & Soft Skills
