AI & LLM Integration (Critical for Role 1): Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs, implementing tool-calling functionalities, or building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Advanced Front-End & Streaming: Proficiency with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), service workers, and push notifications, alongside experience implementing streaming UI patterns like Server-Sent Events (SSE) and incremental rendering. Observability & Testing: Familiarity with structured observability frameworks (e.g., OpenTelemetry) and modern end-to-end testing tools such as Cypress or Playwright. Domain Expertise: Prior exposure to captive portals, hotspots, Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), or ISP platforms (highly valued but treated as a bonus rather than a strict filtering criterion).
