Experience working with backend APIs (GraphQL, REST) and efficient data-fetching strategies is required.
Familiarity with backend systems and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS) is a bonus but not mandatory.
A passion for writing testable code and understanding what to test in front-end applications is essential.

The position offers a competitive salary and the potential for pre-IPO equity packages in a well-funded startup.
