• Experience implementing and advocating for accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with UI/UX design tools (e.g., Figma) is a significant plus, with experience in their practical application.
• You are an expert in software engineering practices (git, unit testing, code documentation, continuous integration, dependency management, monitoring, version management, etc.), and can lead the implementation of these practices.
• You have a strong instinct for software architecture and micro-services, including how they are optimally tested and deployed.

• You love to experiment and explore new technologies/frameworks, and you are adept at evaluating them.
• You are proficient in leveraging AI tooling (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, agentic SDLC) in software development and can guide others in its effective use.
• Ability to thrive under pressure and adapt with flexibility within a dynamic company environment.
• Demonstrable experience in mentoring and developing junior engineers, fostering a collaborative team environment.
