Collaboration and Communication:

• Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure solutions meet business needs and support QA processes, engaging in effective testing and validation of developed solutions.
• Work closely with backend developers to integrate APIs and ensure seamless, end-to-end functionality of the application.
• Continuously seek opportunities to improve processes, technologies, and methodologies, staying updated with modern technologies and best practices to enhance the development lifecycle.

Continuous Learning and Innovation:

• Stay abreast of the latest frontend technologies and frameworks, advocating for their adoption where they can improve the product's performance or development workflow.
• Commit to maintaining high-quality standards through regular code reviews, testing, and adherence to best practices in software development.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional experience as a full-stack or front-end developer.
• Experience working with MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express, ReactJS, Node.js)
• Experience working with large cloud platforms such as AWS.
• Knowledge of and practical experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience in writing comprehensive unit tests, ensuring the reliability and integrity of the application.
• Experience with T3 Tech Stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS);
• Experience with performance and optimization problems and a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems.
• Demonstrated capacity to clearly and concisely communicate about complex technical and architectural concepts and propose thorough iterative solutions.

We know that what matters most is a positive attitude, a hunger to learn, and the drive to create quality work and get results. While we value experience and specific kinds of knowledge, we also know that sometimes it’s a roundabout career journey. And if you’re not sure you meet the experience requirements for this position, but you know in your gut that you’ve got what it takes to bring this role to the next level, we’d like to hear from you!

At CapIntel, we’re proud to be a team where respect, trust, and collaboration drive everything we do. We recognize that individual talent shines brightest when supported by a strong team, and we’re committed to helping every team member grow, make an impact, and succeed.
