• Code Quality & Testing: Write clean, maintainable code backed by comprehensive automated
tests using JUnit and React Testing Library / Jest, with strong unit and integration coverage.
• Technical Debt & Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify and resolve defects, reduce
technical debt, and champion software engineering best practices across the codebase.

• Design & Code Reviews: Actively contribute to architecture discussions, pull request reviews,
and technical documentation with a focus on thoughtful, scalable design.

(branching strategies, PRs, code reviews).
• 1–2 years of experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker,
Kubernetes, or Podman).

• Solid experience with JUnit and/or other automated testing frameworks; commitment to high
test coverage.
