Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 to 6 years of professional frontend software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript in production frontend environments.
• Hands-on experience building component-driven web applications with React.js.
• Working knowledge of Node.js for build tooling, server-side rendering, or frontend-adjacent service development.
• Familiarity with GraphQL for client-side data fetching and API integration.
• Exposure to Perl, Oracle, AWS (Amazon Web Services), Jenkins, and/or Harness is a plus.

• Build reusable, accessible UI components and establish shared front-end patterns that promote consistency across Clinicals applications.
• Integrate frontend interfaces with backend services through GraphQL APIs and RESTful endpoints.
• Leverage Node.js to support frontend build tooling, server-side rendering, or lightweight middleware services as needed.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to translate requirements into reliable, user-centered interfaces.
• Analyze existing frontend codebases and contribute to migration efforts toward a unified React-based architecture.
• Troubleshoot and resolve UI defects, performance bottlenecks, and cross-browser compatibility issues.
• Write clean, testable frontend code and actively participate in code reviews, unit testing, and end-to-end testing practices.
• Use AI-assisted development tools — such as those supporting code suggestion, automated testing, or debugging — to improve code quality and delivery speed, while applying sound engineering judgment to all final decisions.
• Contribute to frontend engineering documentation, standards, and shared practices that support team-wide consistency and velocity.
