Software Development & Quality

• Write clean, testable, and maintainable TypeScript and React code

• Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests following test strategy and coverage goals

• Contribute to automated quality controls including linting, formatting, type checking, and testing

• Participate in code reviews and technical design reviews

DevOps, CI/CD & Observability

• Work with modern CI/CD pipelines for build, test, security scanning, deployment, and rollback

• Perform root cause analysis and implement long-term fixes for incidents

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work closely with cross-functional and distributed teams in an Agile/Scrum environment

• Analyze requirements, identify risks and dependencies, and propose technical solutions

• Contribute to engineering standards, tooling, and continuous improvement initiatives

• Maintain clear and accurate technical documentation

AI & Developer Productivity

• Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly for code generation, refactoring, testing, and documentation

• Help define effective team practices for adopting AI in the development workflow

Qualifications

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience

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

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to break down complex challenges

• Excellent communication skills in English for technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Proven ability to collaborate across teams, cultures, and time zones

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum delivery models

• Mentoring mindset and willingness to support other engineers

Nice to Have
