• Comfortable working in an agile, product-led environment with a strong emphasis on continuous delivery (CI/CD workflows), understanding how frontend changes integrate into automated deployment pipelines.
• Up-to-date knowledge of software engineering best practices, including clean code, performance optimisation, security best practices (e.g., XSS prevention, secure local storage), and web accessibility standards (WCAG).
• Prior experience working in a fast-paced start-up or scale-up environment, particularly on continuous product development and iteration.
• Proven problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to exercise flexibility and judgement in complex technical scenarios.
• Achievement-oriented, capable of taking ownership, working independently, and collaborating effectively within a cross-functional team, able to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines.
