• Optimization and refactoring: Review and improve the current codebase to ensure plugin performance efficiency, maintainability, and scalability.
• Testing and debugging: write and execute test cases to ensure the reliability of new and existing features.
• Collaboration: work closely with the lead developer and other team members to align project goals and deliverables with company standards.
• Final deliverable: a fully optimized, user-friendly plugin with additional features that significantly enhance the user's ability to manage input files for the IX software in VSCode

Required Skills & Qualifications
