Required Skills & Experience • Strong experience with React.js, TypeScript, and good to have—optionally Next.js or similar modern frameworks. • Proficient in state management tools (Redux, Zustand, React Query, or equivalent). • Solid understanding of responsive design, modern CSS techniques (TailwindCSS, SASS, or CSS Modules). • Experience working with design systems and UI libraries; familiarity with tools like Storybook. • Deep understanding of web performance metrics (Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals) and tuning strategies. • Knowledge of accessibility standards and implementation best practices (ARIA, semantic HTML). • Exposure to API integration (REST/GraphQL) and performance optimization at the network boundary. • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools for front-end workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI). • Familiarity with frontend observability tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog RUM, LogRocket). • Understanding of Git workflows, environment-based configuration, and deployment automation. • Understanding of the how different backend systems work and willingness to explore & work in them if required • Strong problem-solving skills, code debugging ability, and a keen eye for design alignment.
