- Deep understanding of the HTML5 Canvas API and optimisation techniques, i.e. minimising redraws, buffering
- Experience with a Canvas Graphics Library (e.g., Konva.js, Fabric.js, Paper.js, or PIXI.js) for state management and object manipulation




- Seamlessly handling both Vector and Raster graphics including shapes, paths, and imported images
- Expertise using WebSocket APIs for low-latency, real-time communication
- Proven ability to implement distributed state synchronisation for concurrent multi-user
- Designing efficient protocols for sending small, frequent drawing actions

Core Engineering
