Project Overview: We are developing a web application and require a skilled Frontend Developer to join our team. The role involves implementing design elements, ensuring responsive layouts, and integrating front-end components with the backend. This project follows an Agile/Sprint management style. 

Key Responsibilities:

• React.js Development: Utilize React.js, including hooks such as useState, useEffect, and Route, to build and maintain dynamic user interfaces.
• Session Management: Implement web session management using JWT tokens and handle static environment variables securely.
• Repository Structure: Follow and apply correct repository structures to maintain clean and organized codebases.

As part of our team, you'll be expected to adhere to coding best practices, including code decoupling, maintaining cohesion, conducting thorough manual testing, using clear naming conventions, and collaborating effectively through Git (e.g., avoiding pushing directly to the main branch).
