· Review code, mentor developers, and promote best practices.
· Work with audit stakeholders, analysts, and QA to turn business needs into working software.
· Diagnose and fix production issues, performance problems, and technical debt.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO SUCCEED?
Must have:
· 2+ years of professional software development, including 1+ years of full stack JavaScript/TypeScript with Vue/Nuxt (or a similar framework) and Node.js/REST APIs.
· Strong SQL skills with a relational database (SQL Server preferred).
