3+ years of full-stack software development experience.
Experience developing web applications from concept through deployment.
Strong understanding of object-oriented programming and software design principles.
Experience with several of the following: Python, Django, Flask, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5 & CSS3, React, Vue.js, Angular, or similar front-end frameworks, SQL (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or similar), REST APIs and API integrations, Git/version control, Cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud), Authentication, security, and web application best practices.
