• Deep familiarity with the TanStack suite (Query, Table) and Material UI (MUI) or comparable component libraries.
• Solid grasp of frontend architecture, state management patterns, and performance tuning.
• Skilled in consuming HTTP-based protocols, including HTTP/2, streaming APIs, and real-time interfaces like WebSockets or SSE.
• A background in developing data-heavy or analytics-driven dashboards is highly valued.
• All offers of employment are contingent upon a successful background check.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with backend technologies such as Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask) or Go (Golang).
• Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL) or analytical stores (ClickHouse) from a frontend integration perspective.
• Exposure to message queues and event-driven systems (AWS SQS/SNS, Kafka, RabbitMQ) as a consumer.
• Experience building or integrating with streaming or event-driven APIs.
• Familiarity with deploying frontend applications to cloud environments, preferably AWS.
• Awareness of observability, logging, and monitoring tooling as it relates to frontend applications.

Why join us?
