• Plan and implement architectural decisions for projects, balancing speed, scalability, and maintainability.
• Document technical workflows and processes comprehensively for the team and stakeholders.
• Plan and execute project sprints; estimate tasks, manage risks, and report progress to stakeholders.
• Ensure timely delivery of milestones within an Agile environment.
• Use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate development, prototyping, and code review - while applying sound engineering judgment to validate, refactor, and own AI-generated code rather than merging it blindly.

Frontend Technologies (Mandatory)

• Strong, hands-on expertise in at least one modern frontend framework: React, Angular, or Vue.js, with 8+ years of relevant experience.

Tools & Practices

• Version Control: Proficiency in Git and Bitbucket.
• API Development & Integration: Strong understanding of designing and implementing scalable, secure APIs.
• Application Performance: Knowledge of caching strategies, load balancing, and monitoring tools.
• AI-Assisted / "vibe coding" Tools: Comfortable using AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) for rapid prototyping, boilerplate generation, debugging, and code review, with the judgment to know when to rely on them and when not to.
• Communication & Leadership: Ability to mentor team members and communicate clearly and confidently with stakeholders and clients.
• Adaptability: Willingness to learn and work with emerging tools, frameworks, and AI-driven workflows.

• CI/CD & TDD: Ability to set up and manage continuous integration and test-driven development workflows.
• Mobile Application Technologies: Exposure to mobile app development or cross-platform frameworks (e.g., React Native, Flutter) is a plus., * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 8 years of relevant full-stack development experience.
• A proven portfolio of past projects showcasing technical proficiency.
• Previous experience working in Agile and remote team environments.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with performance optimisation and scalable architecture.
• A self-motivated, proactive approach to problem-solving with strong decision-making in dynamic scenarios.
