KEY DIFFERENTIATOR: FRONTEND FOCUS Robust Front\-end experience is a **major differentiator**. * **Technologies:** React, Next.js, TypeScript. * **Concepts:** Scalable *frontend* architecture, *Design systems*, Web performance, *Microfrontends*, UX engineering, Accessibility, and *Rendering strategies* (SSR, SSG, streaming). * **Backend (Desired Knowledge):** Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), Java, Go, Python or similar, Event\-driven architecture, Messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.), and REST/GraphQL/gRPC APIs. BEHAVIORAL PROFILE (SOFT SKILLS) We seek a leader who acts as an agent of **renewal and continuous improvement**, with an actively communicative and inquisitive mindset. * **Communication and Influence:** Excellent communication skills, pro\-activeness, and strong ability to mediate between technical and executive areas. The candidate must be **highly communicative** and genuinely enjoy integrating with others. * **Leadership and Decision-Making:** Inspiring leadership focused on people development and capable of making decisions in complex and ambiguous environments. * **Culture:** Owner mindset, collaborative profile, and orientation toward results and business impact.
