Experience: 4+ years of software engineering experience, with a focus on frontend development.
Proven Consistency: A history of longevity, having stayed at a company for at least 2+ years to see projects through to maturity.
Technical Aptitude: You possess strong fundamentals in CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. While you know frameworks, you understand the core technologies underneath them.
