• Strong expertise in JavaScript and TypeScript, with hands-on experience developing production applications using Vue 3, Nuxt, React, Next.js, or comparable frameworks.
• Proven experience working with headless or decoupled commerce architectures and modern content management systems.
• Solid background integrating eCommerce platforms with ERP systems and other business-critical technologies, including payments, OMS, PIM, search platforms, and customer data solutions.
• Practical experience with caching technologies, performance optimization, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, incident management, and production support.

• Experience collaborating with external agencies, vendors, and distributed development teams, including reviewing deliverables and influencing technical decisions.
• Familiarity with PHP and Magento 2 environments is advantageous, particularly for architecture reviews and technical oversight.
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical challenges, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and balance business priorities with engineering best practices.
