5+ years of software development experience, with a focus on high-scale web applications.
Under the Hood Knowledge: Deep understanding of JavaScript fundamentals (Event Loop, DOM API, browser rendering) beyond framework-specific abstractions.
Vue Specialist: Proven experience with Vue 2 and Vue 3. Experience navigating the friction of migrating between the two is highly preferred.
Leadership: Experience leading small teams or project "pods" and a track record of driving features to completion.
Product Intuition: A sharp eye for UI/UX and a passion for creating "great" web design rather than just "functional" code.
