Requirements

• Deep hands‑on experience delivering full‑stack JavaScript/TypeScript solutions, with strong proficiency in React, Next.js, Node.js, and the broader JavaScript ecosystem.
• Proven ability to build high‑quality, production‑ready systems, with strong fundamentals in performance, accessibility, security, and maintainability.
• Demonstrates technical leadership within a squad, shaping implementation approaches, influencing architectural decisions, and role‑modelling engineering excellence through hands‑on contribution.
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS preferable) and CI/CD pipelines, including how applications are built, deployed, monitored, and operated in production.
• Brings a DevOps mindset, ensuring smooth delivery workflows, observability, and operational readiness.
• Able to take ownership of complex technical problems, make pragmatic trade‑offs, and clearly articulate decisions to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable working across the stack, even if frontend‑leaning, with the ability to contribute meaningfully to backend services when needed.

• Understands where AI provides genuine value versus where traditional engineering approaches are more appropriate.
• Able to evaluate risk, cost, maintainability, and user impact when proposing AI‑driven solutions.
• Curious about emerging AI patterns, frameworks, and tooling, with the ability to apply them pragmatically rather than experimentally.
• Comfortable guiding clients on realistic AI opportunities, helping them navigate hype vs. practical value.
• Experience working in consulting or client‑facing environments, operating confidently in ambiguous problem spaces.
