Quality & Testing Quality is part of development not something that happens after development. Write reliable unit and integration tests using Jest . Build and maintain end-to-end tests using Playwright . Test your work thoroughly before considering it complete. Participate actively in code reviews and learn from feedback. Identify regressions, edge cases, and potential production issues before they reach users. Debug issues systematically and focus on root causes rather than temporary workarounds. Write code that is easy for other engineers to understand, review, test, and maintain.

Ability to debug problems rather than only work around them. Ability to write clean, readable, and maintainable code. Practical experience using AI tools to improve software engineering productivity . Strong willingness to learn and continuously improve. Good communication and teamwork skills. This Role Is a Strong Fit If You... Can take a feature from requirement to production instead of stopping when the code simply "works." Care about both speed and quality you don't believe one has to come at the expense of the other. Use AI to multiply your productivity while still understanding and owning every solution you ship. Don't blindly copy AI-generated code you question it, review it, test it, and improve it. Try to understand why something works, not only how to make it work. Investigate bugs and edge cases instead of immediately passing them to someone else. Treat testing as part of development rather than an optional final step. Care about code readability, scalability, and maintainability. Can receive code-review feedback and use it to improve. Communicate early when you are blocked. Enjoy collaborating and sharing knowledge with other engineers. Are curious about the product, not just the ticket assigned to you. Look for opportunities to improve existing code and engineering processes. Have a strong sense of ownership and don't need constant follow-up to get things done. Want to become a significantly stronger engineer over the next few years. What Success Looks Like Within your first months at Lucidya, we expect you to: Understand the frontend codebase, architecture, and development workflow. Deliver production features with increasing independence. Write clean and maintainable code that requires fewer review iterations over time. Build appropriate automated tests for the features you develop. Work confidently with REST APIs and increasingly understand our real-time architecture. Debug frontend and integration issues effectively. Use AI tools to noticeably improve your development speed and productivity while maintaining engineering quality Desired Candidate Profile Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a closely related field. 0 2 years of professional frontend development experience.
