**The Ideal Candidate: **

• 5+ years of experience in web application development using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, or similar modern frameworks.

• Strong experience integrating front-end applications with REST APIs, Django services, and data platforms like Postgres.

• Comfortable working across the stack and learning new tools and frameworks as needed.
