• Redesign the application's home page so users see the most important information at a glance
• Set up a consistent design language across the application, covering typography, color, spacing, iconography, and layout patterns
• Refactor existing pages and components to the new design system without breaking current functionality
• Improve the usability of data‑heavy views, including tables, filters, forms, and real‑time status displays

Feature Development

• Turn stakeholder needs and Jira stories into working, well‑tested features that follow the established design system
• Work with full stack developers to define API contracts that support new UI capabilities
• Build responsive interfaces for real‑time data driven by WebSocket updates

Design System & Quality

• Build and maintain a shared component library based on ShadCN UI and Tailwind CSS so new pages are consistent by default
• Make the UI accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA / Section 508) and responsive across supported screen sizes
• Write and maintain component tests (Vitest, React Testing Library) and work with QA on Cypress end-to-end coverage
• Use modern development tooling, including VS Code and AI‑assisted tools such as Claude Code, to speed up development while keeping code quality high

Collaboration & Delivery

• Take part in sprint planning, code reviews, and design discussions
• Present UI proposals, wireframes, and demos to stakeholders and leadership
• Document component usage, design guidelines, and frontend coding standards
• Deliver changes through GitLab CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments

What you'll need:

• 3 years of experience in UI/UX development
• Experience with React.js
• Experience with API integration
• Experience developing applications for a cloud environment
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript

Bonus Points if you have:

• Experience with TanStack Router, TanStack Query, TanStack Table, React Hook Form, Zod, and ShadCNUI
• Experience building or maintaining a design system or component library
• Experience with Figma (or similar tools) for wireframing and prototyping
• Familiarity with AWS services (e.g.: EC2, S3) or cloud operations tooling
• Familiarity with Docker, NGINX, and GitLab CI/CD
