• Hands-on experience with Redux (React Redux, Redux Toolkit).

• Excellent knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3; proficiency with SASS/SCSS and CSS Modules. 

• Good understanding of CSS Flexbox, Grid, and responsive design principles. 

• Experience with component libraries such as Material UI (MUI) or Bootstrap v4+. 

• Familiarity with Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling workflows. 

• Proficient with Git for version control in collaborative, multi-team environments. 

• Experience with TanStack libraries (Query, Table, or Router) for data fetching, server state management, and table rendering. 

• Experience with build tools such as Webpack or Vite, and Node.js/npm workflows. 

• Strong interpersonal skills, strong interest in emerging technologies/AI tooling/front-end engineering trends.

• Collaborative mindset and willingness to work across product, design, and backend teams.

• Ability to operate effectively in a dynamic environment with evolving requirements.

• Attention to detail and commitment to high-quality, user-centred deliverables.

• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities. 

Nice to have:

• Experience with backend technologies such as Java and/or Python.

• Experience with real-time data interfaces - WebSocket, STOMP, or similar streaming protocols. 

• Familiarity with data visualisation libraries such as Highcharts, Recharts, or D3. 

• Experience with mapping libraries (Leaflet, Mapbox) or grid libraries (AG-Grid). 

• Knowledge of additional frontend frameworks (Vue.js, Angular, etc.).

• Familiarity with Scrum or other Agile methodologies.

• Understanding of UI/UX best practices beyond implementation.

• Exposure to AI‑driven or optimization‑based systems.
