• Develop responsive, accessible, and performant user interfaces with TailwindCSS and modern tooling (e.g., Vite).
• Integrate with backend APIs (primarily Django REST Framework) and occasionally debug SQL in PostgreSQL/MSSQL.
• Apply accessibility standards (WCAG) and performance best practices (prefetching, lazy loading, code splitting).
• Contribute to testing (unit, integration, E2E) to ensure code quality and maintainability.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams to deliver features from end-to-end.

• Strong knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and reactive programming concepts.
• Proficiency in frontend tooling (TailwindCSS, Vite, Node.js).
• Familiarity with SQL (PostgreSQL) for debugging and troubleshooting.
• Comfortable in both UNIX environments (shell scripting, CLI tools) and Windows/PowerShell.
• Understanding of frontend security (e.g., XSS prevention).
• Strong communicator with a mindset of continuous improvement and iteration.
  
  

Location & Workstyle
