• Perform code reviews to uphold coding standards and best practices.
• Test components across multiple web browsers to ensure consistent user experiences.

Qualifications:

• Strong troubleshooting and performance optimization skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and handle project-based assignments across multiple teams.
• Clear and professional communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.

Preferred:
