  • 5+ years of experience building complex, user-facing web applications with modern frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular.
  • Proven ability to own and deliver substantial features or components within a large-scale front end application, from technical design to launch.
  • Experience with web communication protocols, like gRPC, REST, and GraphQL.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical decisions and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • A strong sense of product ownership and a motivation to see features through the entire development lifecycle.

Desirable Qualifications:

  • Experience with web frontend concepts such as CDN, Ingress Gateway, and Server-Side Rendering.
  • Experience with web security technologies like RBAC, Session Auth, JWT Auth, and Federated SSO.
  • Familiarity with application release strategies such as feature flagging, A/B testing, and canary releases.
  • Experience with application metrics tracking and error tracing (e.g., Grafana, Mixpanel, Sentry).
  • Prior experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, fleet management, or real-time distributed systems.
  • Experience with safety and mission-critical applications.
