• Node.js Backends:
  Comfortable reading, debugging, and extending Node.js/Express REST API servers

  Experience with multi-role web applications (SSO, role-based access control)
• Azure:
  Working knowledge of Azure App Service, deployment slots, log streaming, and Azure Dev Ops repos and pipelines
• Testing Expertise:
  Strong experience writing and maintaining unit, subsystem, and system tests for frontend applications, and the discipline to verify in staging before touching production

  Extensive hands-on experience using Claude and other LLM models for code generation, debugging, and code review processes
• LLM Integration In-Product:
  Experience shipping LLM-powered features to end users (API integration, streaming responses, prompt payloads, graceful error handling)

  Experience building multi-language user interfaces and translation-friendly frontends
• Configuration-Driven UI:
  Experience building dynamic, configuration-driven interfaces such as form builders or template engines

  Experience with speech-to-text, transcription API integration, or voice-driven UI
• Mobile Development:
  Experience building iOS/Android applications, particularly with Flutter
• Microsoft Ecosystem:
  Experience building applications for Microsoft native applications (Outlook, etc.) that leverage Microsoft Graph API

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - most issues arrive as plain-language reports from non-technical colleagues
• Ability to engage effectively with non-technical stakeholders, translate a vague complaint into a precise defect, and close the loop when it is fixed
• Capable of independently driving fixes and features from report or concept through to verified resolution in production
• Strong system architecture instincts with ability to quickly converge on project requirements

• Battle-Hardened:
  Experienced with failure, learning, and perseverance through multiple project cycles
• Completion-Focused:
  Understanding that project success is measured by user adoption, not feature completion
• Anti-Shiny Object:
  Ability to resist temptation of new technologies when focus should be on grinding through current priorities
• Stakeholder Engagement:
  Strong skills in scoping functional and technical implementation, prioritization, and planning

• Personable & Collaborative:
  Solid people skills, approachable, no ego or academic elitism
• Mission-Oriented:
  Willing to upskill, pivot, or abandon work as business needs require
• Agency Embodied:
  Self-motivated, proactive, with internalized drive to map goals to actions
• Pragmatic Executor:
  Focused on results

You’ll be working with 1-2 technical colleagues and hundreds of non-technical team members. Success in this role requires someone who can bridge technical and business domains while maintaining focus on practical outcomes over technical perfectionism.
