Elevate Frontend Craft: Apply deep CSS skills and contribute to component libraries and design systems. Collaborate Effectively: Work closely with product and design teams to turn concepts into performant, maintainable features. Improve Quality: tests, review, and drive performance optimization. Support & Mentor: Provide guidance and feedback to junior and intermediate developers through reviews, pair programming, or ad-hoc workshops. Teach & Mentor: Dedicate part of your time to teaching learners — from running code labs, explaining core concepts, and guiding projects. Must Have 4+ years of professional experience in front-end and back-end development. Strong expertise in Java Script, React, Node.js, and CSS, Python. Experience with modern tooling: Sass, Github (CI/CD) Clear, friendly communication skills with a willingness to share knowledge. A mindset for ownership and continuous improvement.
