Experience writing unit tests and UI tests
Product-minded engineer with strong attention to detail and edge cases
Comfortable using AI tools (e.g. Cursor, modern LLMs) to accelerate development responsibly
Strong communication skills, open to feedback and continuous improvement
Proactive problem-solver who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction
