• Experience building responsive, component-based user interfaces using HTML, modern CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience developing or integrating applications with REST APIs or other modern API architectures.
• Experience with React concepts such as hooks, component composition, state management, routing, and asynchronous data handling.
• Experience with modern front-end build and development tooling.
• Experience writing automated tests and working with unit, integration, or end-to-end testing frameworks.
• Experience with Git, pull requests, code reviews, and collaborative software development workflows.
• Understanding of responsive design, browser standards, accessibility, web performance, and secure development practices.
• Exposure to at least one major cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

Responsibilities

• Build and enhance modern, responsive web applications using React, TypeScript, and frameworks such as Next.js, Angular.js.
• Develop reusable components, hooks, services, and application patterns that improve consistency and maintainability.
• Translate product requirements and UX designs into accessible, responsive, and high-performing digital experiences.
• Integrate applications with REST, GraphQL, backend-for-frontend (BFF), and other API architectures.
• Develop backend services and APIs using Node.js and TypeScript, with opportunities to work with Java, Python, .NET, or Go.
• Own features throughout the software development lifecycle—from technical discovery and estimation through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
• Apply modern React patterns for component composition, state management, data fetching, caching, routing, and client/server rendering.
• Write automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using tools such as Vitest, Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, or Cypress.
• Use modern development tooling such as Vite, Next.js, Storybook, ESLint, npm, pnpm, Yarn, Nx, or Turborepo.
• Use AI-assisted development tools and workflows to accelerate coding, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and prototyping while maintaining appropriate human review and engineering standards.
• Collaborate with UX designers and contribute to component libraries and design systems that create consistent digital experiences.
• Apply accessibility standards and practices, including semantic HTML, keyboard accessibility, ARIA, and WCAG guidance.
• Improve application performance through techniques such as code splitting, lazy loading, caching, image optimization, and Core Web Vitals improvements.
• Apply secure coding, privacy, and dependency-management practices throughout development.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments, application monitoring, logging, and observability.
• Participate in pull requests, code reviews, technical discovery, architecture discussions, and solution estimation.
• Partner directly with client and cross-functional teams to clarify requirements, troubleshoot issues, and iterate on working software.
• Communicate technical approaches, tradeoffs, risks, and progress clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support and mentor junior engineers through pairing, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
