  • Experience: 15+ years of experience in front-end development, with at least 10+ years in a fast moving SaaS and Enterprise environment.
  • Expertise in Front-end Technologies: Deep experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js.
  • Architectural Experience: Proven ability to architect large-scale and complex UI applications, especially in enterprise environments.
  • API Integration: Solid understanding of integrating front-end applications with RESTful APIs and WebSocket services. GraphQL experience preferred.

  • Testing & Automation: Familiarity with front-end testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress) and CI/CD practices.
  • Cloud Platforms: Exposure to cloud-native platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and experience with deploying and managing UIs in containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • UI/UX Collaboration: Ability to translate complex requirements into clear, intuitive, and engaging user interfaces in collaboration with UX designers.
