- Deep hands‑on expertise with RxJS/NgRx (or equivalent reactive state patterns) for real‑time, high‑volume data UI.
- Strong experience integrating with RESTful services (bonus: gRPC/WebSockets), handling pagination/virtualization, and front‑end performance tuning.
- Demonstrated ability to convert complex domain problems into clean UX flows; proficiency with wireframing/prototyping tools (e.g., Figma).
- Track record establishing UI component libraries/design systems and publishing distributable NPM packages.
- Solid testing discipline (Jasmine/Jest/Cypress, TDD/contract testing) and CI/CD best practices for front‑end delivery.
- Working familiarity with at least one mid‑tier framework (Python FastAPI/Flask, Java Spring Boot, or Node.js) and SQL fundamentals to collaborate effectively across the stack.
- Excellent communication skills; can explain trade‑offs and guide design decisions with quantitative stakeholders.
