    (JavaScript, React, , HTML, CSS).
  • Comfortable working in an
    Agile engineering environment
    , familiar with build tools,
    static/dynamic code analysis
    , and
    CI/CD pipelines
    (e.g., Jenkins, TeamCity).
  • Strong communicator—clear, collaborative, and proactive.
  • Educated to degree level (or equivalent professional experience).

Desirable Skills

  • Experience with
    Elastic (ELK) stack
    ,
    Docker/Kubernetes
    , or
    test automation tools
