Job description

• Angular at depth, including modern versions, standalone components, signals, RxJS, dependency injection, change detection, and the Angular CLI and build pipeline.
• Front-end architecture patterns, including monorepo tooling such as Nx, micro-frontends, state management such as NgRx, and shared component library design.
• React and Next.js preferred, at a depth sufficient to evaluate framework selection, support solutions built outside Angular, and reason about server-side rendering, static generation, and hydration against the trade-offs of a client-rendered application.
• API integration, including GraphQL clients, REST, and authentication and authorization flows such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and Cognito.
• Testing and quality, including Jest, Jasmine, or Karma for unit testing, Cypress or Playwright for end-to-end testing, and accessibility validation against WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508.
• CI/CD and cloud deployment of front-end applications, including AWS or Azure hosting, CDN configuration, and build optimization.

• Angular at depth, including modern versions, standalone components, signals, RxJS, dependency injection, change detection, and the Angular CLI and build pipeline.
• TypeScript, HTML, and CSS at an expert level, including responsive layout, design token systems, and cross-browser behavior.
• Front-end architecture patterns, including monorepo tooling such as Nx, micro-frontends, state management such as NgRx, and shared component library design.
• React and Next.js preferred, at a depth sufficient to evaluate framework selection, support solutions built outside Angular, and reason about server-side rendering, static generation, and hydration against the trade-offs of a client-rendered application.

Delivery Competencies

• Ownership: Remains with a problem until it is resolved rather than escalating to transfer it.
• Independent judgment: Operates without supervision and determines what the work requires.
• Curiosity: Seeks to understand the customer's business, the technical solution, and the people involved rather than accepting information as given.
• Relationship building: Establishes trust with customers and delivery teams deliberately.
• Adaptability: Adjusts approach to the customer, project, and team rather than applying a fixed method.
• Craft: Holds the quality of the work above the convenience of finishing it, and knows the difference between the two.

Education & Experience Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Ten (10) to twelve (12) years of professional software engineering experience, the majority focused on front-end development.
• Demonstrated experience owning the front-end architecture of a production application through full lifecycle to production.
• Demonstrated experience leading an Angular version migration or a legacy front-end modernization.
• Experience designing and maintaining a shared component library or design system implementation used by multiple teams or applications.
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading code review as the technical authority for a codebase.
• Experience building production applications in React and Next.js preferred, in addition to Angular depth.
• Experience delivering applications that meet WCAG 2.1 AA or Section 508 accessibility requirements preferred.
• Experience with public sector, SLED (state, local, and education), or higher-education clients preferred, not required.
• Must physically reside in the United States and be authorized to work in the United States. U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is not required.

Certifications

• No certification required for this role.
• Cloud certification (AWS or Azure) preferred.
