Tech Stack (Front-End Focus)

We’re looking for strong front-end engineers who can lead technically.

Core technologies include

• 🌳 Vue.js (primary SPA framework)
• 🌳 JavaScript / TypeScript
• 🌳 HTML, CSS (modern layout, responsive design)
• 🌳 SPA state management and component architecture

Supporting stack (you’ll collaborate closely, not own alone)

• 🌳 .NET (.NET Framework & .NET Core)
• 🌳 Azure SQL & Azure Cloud
• 🌳 RESTful APIs

🌳 Bonus: SignalR, RabbitMQ, broader Azure services

Experience with large, complex, data-heavy interfaces is a major plus.
