  • Experience working with a design system (Material, Fluent, Carbon, Radix, Bootstrap, or equivalent), partnering closely with UX and product design
  • Strong testing discipline (unit, integration, end-to-end) and familiarity with modern frontend build tooling (Vite, Turbopack, Webpack)
  • Experience designing and deploying scalable, resilient cloud-native applications on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to manage and resolve complex technical challenges independently

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
