• Proficiency with React, JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern front-end practices.

• Understanding of event-driven architecture, serverless computing, and Terraform.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills—you’ll be a bridge between tech and business.

• Passion for mentoring and developing other engineers.
