Strong grasp of frontend architecture, state management, caching and performance optimisation.

Solid experience integrating REST/GraphQL APIs and handling authentication.

Experience leading or mentoring frontend developers.

Excellent communication skills. You should be able to work through API contracts and requirements clearly with backend and mobile teams.

Familiarity with React Native.

Familiarity with US front-end compliance requirements, such as WCAG2.2
