• Demonstrated ability to quickly understand and be productive in a large, existing, and sometimes legacy codebase including debugging, identifying root causes, and making incremental improvements.
• Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, responsive design, browser APIs, and cross browser compatibility.

• Understanding of web security fundamentals and how to protect applications from common vulnerabilities.
• Exposure to AWS services and patterns such as S3, CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, WAF, VPC Link, and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform).
• Knowledge of object-oriented design, domain modeling, design patterns, and building scalable and highly available systems.
• Comfortable in client-facing discussions: able to ask clarifying questions, explain technical tradeoffs clearly, and align expectations with non-technical audiences.
