  • You have experience building, evolving, maintaining, and operating web applications.
  • You can articulate and lead conversations on the benefits and associated trade-offs between front-end design patterns and practices to ensure scale, maintainability, quality, and effective dependency management that ensures development at scale.
  • You are a strong mentor to junior staff and able to lead and teach others to ensure technical alignment.
