  • Experience implementing authentication and authorisation models (e.g. Auth0, RBAC)
  • Strong experience with modern UI frameworks, including Tailwind / component libraries / design systems
  • Experience integrating third-party services and enterprise platforms
  • Understanding of security best practices, secrets management, and compliance requirements
  • Experience working within Agile/Scrum environments
  • Strong communication and stakeholder collaboration skills

Desirable Skillset
