The work:

• Build modern, responsive, accessible web and mobile experiences using contemporary JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks and component-based architectures.
• Translate product requirements, UX designs, prototypes, and user feedback into production-ready features and reusable components.
• Develop and integrate front‑end experiences with APIs, services, data sources, and serverless or lightweight back‑end capabilities.
• Create and maintain design‑system components, shared UI patterns, and engineering standards that improve consistency and delivery speed.
• Write clean, testable code and participate in code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, debugging, refactoring, and release activities.
• Build accessibility, Section 508 considerations, responsive behavior, security, and web performance into the engineering lifecycle.

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Business Application Engineers, Quality Engineers, designers, platform teams, security teams, and client stakeholders.
• As your experience grows, lead complex features, mentor engineers, shape design‑system or application patterns, and help teams make sound technical tradeoffs.

Here's what you need:

• Professional experience in full‑stack, web, mobile, or product engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands‑on experience with JavaScript or TypeScript and at least one modern framework such as React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, or a comparable technology.

• Experience leveraging code assist technologies while developing applications (e.g., Gemini Code Assist, GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, etc.).
• Understanding of automated testing, source control, code review, debugging, and Agile delivery practices.
• For candidates with deeper experience, demonstrated ability to independently lead complex features, mentor others, influence technical patterns, and resolve ambiguity across teams.
