- 1 years of experience building web applications using client-side frameworks such as Vue, React, or Angular (Preferred).
Skills & Abilities:
- Ability to develop web applications using PHP or other scripting language(s) (Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.); client-side scripting with JavaScript and HTML; experience with Node.js and functional programming paradigms is a plus.
- Demonstrated knowledge of modern RDBMS database design and management (MySQL experience preferred; Oracle, Postgres, or MS-SQL acceptable).
- Proven ability to understand end-user needs, translate them into technical requirements, and work with end-users to ensure their needs are met in a timely fashion.
- Ability to diagnose and solve complex user-reported or system-identified issues in production.
