  • Experience building modern web interfaces, ideally with TypeScript, React, or Next.js.
  • Practical use of AI as an engineering tool to improve development velocity and output quality.
  • Strong frontend architecture skills, visual judgment, and care for usability, accessibility, performance, and maintainability.
  • Experience creating reusable UI components or design systems; familiarity with browser, accessibility, or visual regression testing is helpful.
  • Experience with complex interfaces, developer platforms, embedded applications, or manufacturing and automotive software is beneficial.
