  • Experience with HTML5, JavaScript (ES6+), and modern front-end tooling (e.g., Webpack, Babel). 

  • Familiarity with RESTful APIs. 

  • Extensive knowledge of accessibility standards and experience implementing inclusive design. 

  • Experience with version control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows. 

  • Experience with testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library). 

  • A proactive mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and a passion for clean, maintainable code. 

  • Comfortable working in an Agile environment, and familiar with Agile development practice 

  • Must be a self-starter, fast learner with positive attitude and team player
