Familiarity with version control (such as Git), code editors like VS Code, and basic use of frameworks like React or Node.js is highly beneficial. Strong communication skills, self-motivation, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in virtual teams make candidates stand out. These skills are vital for delivering quality code, adapting to remote workflows, and contributing effectively to team objectives.
