Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain modern web applications using React and Next.js.
• Collaborate with designers and backend engineers to create user-focused tools that leverage AI automation.
• Design intuitive user experiences that make complex workflows feel simple and actionable.

• Expertise in React and Next.js frameworks.
• Experience working closely with backend APIs and integrating AI/automation features into UIs.
• Understanding of component-driven development, performance optimization, and modern JavaScript tooling.
