- Performance & Reliability: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, scalability challenges, and security concerns
- Ownership: Own features end-to-end — from design and development through deployment and operational support
- Technical Debt: Identify and help prioritize technical debt to support long-term maintainability

Required Qualifications

- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- Experience: 4–6 years of hands-on software engineering experience, with solid knowledge of both backend and frontend technologies

- Experience building responsive, accessible, and visually polished UI
