• Experience with Next.js (routing, SSR/SSG, performance optimizations)
• Good understanding of HTML5, CSS3 (and frameworks like Tailwind CSS, Sass/SCSS) and responsive web design
• Experience in consuming RESTful APIs, handling asynchronous data flows, JSON, and integrating front-end with backend services
• Experience with state-management libraries (Redux, Context, Zustand, etc)
• Version control: Git (branching workflows, pull requests)
• Understanding of performance optimisation, cross-browser compatibility, and modern development tooling (Webpack, Vite, etc)
• Good communication skills (English and Arabic) and ability to work collaboratively in a team

Preferred / Plus Skills (for 5-7+ years)

• Proven experience building large-scale front-end applications in a production environment
• Deep experience with Next.js performance tuning, SSR/SSG strategies, server-side data fetching, caching, and SEO optimisation
