• Mid-Level: 4-5+ years of professional experience in front-end development.
• Senior: 5+ years of professional experience, demonstrating expertise in building complex UIs.
• Expertise in HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript (ES6+).
• Crucial: Proven experience working with a server-side templating language; direct experience with Django Templates is highly required.
• Experience with CSS frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS.
• Familiarity with version control systems, particularly Git.
• A keen eye for detail and a passion for creating pixel-perfect user interfaces.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
