• Decompose complex problems into milestones; translate acceptance criteria and design specs into robust, accessible UI solutions.

• Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance; elevate team frontend capabilities.

• Influence engineering practices (testing, design hygiene, performance, accessibility) to raise overall quality.

• Contribute to proofs-of-concept and prototypes to validate UX approaches and reduce delivery risk.

• Collaborate effectively with designers, product managers, QA, and backend engineers throughout development and testing.

• Other duties as assigned.

• Deep proficiency in React, including hooks, context, and component lifecycle patterns.

• Strong command of TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES6+).

• Proven experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating with backend services.

• Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and responsive/adaptive design principles.

• Experience with state management solutions (e.g., Redux, Zustand, React Query).

• Familiarity with build tooling and bundlers (e.g., Vite, Webpack).

• Strong fundamentals in software design, debugging, and maintainable coding practices.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical delivery, mentor others, and handle ambiguity effectively.

• Track record of raising engineering quality (performance, accessibility, testing, maintainability).

• Experience with frontend testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress).

• Experience participating in estimation and sprint planning.

• Proficiency with version control systems (Git) and defect-tracking tools (e.g., Jira).

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms, e.g. AWS or Azure, including deploying frontend applications (CDN, S3, static hosting).

• Experience with server-side rendering or meta-frameworks (e.g., Next.js, Remix).

• Knowledge of micro-frontend architecture patterns.

• Background in web accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) and assistive technology testing.

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for frontend deployments.

• Experience with animation libraries (e.g., Framer Motion) or data visualization tools (e.g., D3.js, Recharts).

What Success Looks Like

• Delivers major frontend initiatives with predictable execution and clear stakeholder communication.

• Builds UI components and experiences that are polished, performant, and accessible across devices.
