Who Should Apply
Developers and testers who have hands-on IntelliJ IDEA experience and can produce clear task documentation. They should be comfortable working remotely on an hourly basis and across time zones. This role is less suitable for candidates lacking practical IDE task design, or who cannot provide a concise screen recording and annotated notes. Strong preference for those who can demonstrate Maven/Gradle experience and solid Git integration in real projects.
