Proficiency in Node.js, Express.js, and UI frameworks like Vue.js, React.js, or similar — with 3+ years of hands-on experience building dynamic web apps (bonus if you’ve worked with AI components or LLM APIs).

Excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills — including technical writing and documenting AI models or APIs.
Ability to work independently and in a remote, cross-functional team environment.
Previous experience in fast-paced VUCA environments (e.g., startups, AI labs, or tech consultancies).
