- Reproduce and triage incoming site-breakage reports.
Required qualifications
- Solid web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and comfort debugging real-world site breakage.

- Comfortable using AI tooling to speed up diagnosis and fixes.
Preferred
- Gecko knowledge is a strong plus (but can be taught).
- Prior WebCompat or web-standards experience.
