- Experience building frontend-heavy applications and turning ideas into working prototypes
- Experience with modern frontend tools (React, Next.js or similar)
- Ability to think in terms of user experience and product flows, not just technical implementation
- Comfort working in ambiguity and exploring different approaches before settling on solutions
- Clear communication skills and ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to have

- Experience with AI-assisted coding using tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, v0, Lovable or similar
- Basic understanding of authentication (OAuth, SSO) and data handling concepts
