Identifying and managing dependencies within a project — across disciplines and external teams
Managing code releases across environments (Dev, Test, Staging, Prod)
Writing high-quality code that is functional, maintainable, and easy for others to extend
Taking pride in the detail and finish of the final product, and encouraging the same from others
Communicating clearly and regularly to ensure the right solutions are being built
Continuously developing your own technical expertise and staying up to date with best practices
Sharing ideas, tools, and techniques to support the growth and knowledge of the wider team
Strong experience with TypeScript and React
Solid understanding of backend integration with APIs and websockets
Familiarity with Cypress or other automated testing frameworks
Proficient in HTML and CSS — with an eye for layout and detail
Confident with browser and device testing, including debugging workflows
