• Contribute across the full stack: APIs, services, data access, and web UI (and occasionally mobile/web-hybrid where needed).
• Build and optimize systems for performance, scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency in a cloud environment.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and refactor existing components and services to improve reliability, performance, and maintainability.
• Evaluate and introduce appropriate new tools, frameworks, and patterns that improve developer productivity and application quality.
• Provide clear, high-quality updates on work items (e.g., tickets), including scope, rationale for changes, and impacted areas.
• Work effectively with distributed teams and stakeholders across multiple time zones.
• Develop, modify, and maintain modern web applications using Angular (or similar frameworks), JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3; integrate these with backend APIs and services.
• Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines, code review practices, and other engineering workflows that support fast, safe delivery.

• Growth mindset: actively seeks feedback, learns from mistakes, and continuously improves.
• Proven ability to lift others up mentoring, pairing, and sharing knowledge to help the team grow.
• “One team” mentality: avoids “not my job,” collaborates across roles and time zones, and helps wherever the work is.

Desired
