RESPONSIBILITIES :

- Design, build, and optimize responsive, accessible, and high-performance front-end components and applications using React and TypeScript.

- Participate in front-end architecture and design discussions; influence key technical decisions to ensure usability, maintainability, and scalability.

- Translate product requirements, UX flows, and visual designs into high-quality front-end implementations that deliver measurable user and business value.

- Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Architects, Test Engineers, and UX Designers throughout the development lifecycle.

- Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve code quality, component patterns, accessibility, and design consistency.

- Mentor and guide junior developers on front-end design principles, state management best practices, and debugging strategies.

- Identify opportunities to improve front-end delivery efficiency through automation, AI-assisted development, modern tooling, and CI/CD workflows.

- Take ownership of front-end feature delivery from concept to deployment, ensuring quality, performance, and observability.

- Take responsibility for testing your code by writing and maintaining automated front-end tests, validating UI behavior end-to-end, and ensuring high-quality, testable code is delivered into production.

- Contribute to improving team engineering practices and patterns through knowledge sharing and technical leadership.

- Implement and maintain robust front-end testing using modern frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress, or Playwright), ensuring high confidence in UI quality.

- Optimize front-end performance through profiling, caching strategies, code-splitting, bundle optimization, and Web Vitals improvements.

QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS :

- Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

- Significant hands-on experience building complex front-end applications in enterprise or SaaS environments, demonstrating technical ownership and delivery impact.

- Strong programming skills using JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, including component architecture, hooks, and reusable patterns.

- Experience building, deploying, and maintaining front-end applications using modern toolchains (e.g., Node.js, Webpack, Vite, Nx).

- Experience working closely with UX Research, Design, or Accessibility teams to refine high- quality user experiences.

- Exposure to cross-browser compatibility requirements, internationalization (i18n), and localization (l10n) patterns.

- Deep understanding of front-end application architecture, state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, or equivalent), and SPA routing.

- Expertise in consuming REST/gRPC APIs and integrating front-end logic with backend services.

- Strong grasp of web performance optimization, including rendering pipelines, bundle optimization, lazy-loading, and Lighthouse metrics.

- Skilled in applying front-end-focused design patterns, secure coding practices, and modern UI engineering standards.

- Proficiency in writing automated front-end tests (unit, integration, and UI) and ensuring testability through clean component structures, predictable state management, and reliable interaction patterns.

- Proficiency in accessibility standards (WCAG/ARIA) and building inclusive UI experiences.

- Solid understanding of CI/CD practices for web applications, modern testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress, Playwright), and automation best practices.

- Experience working with design systems (Storybook, Material UI, or internal component libraries), ensuring UI consistency and reusability.

- Familiarity with front-end observability tools (Sentry, Datadog RUM, or New Relic Browser) to diagnose client-side issues.

- Curious and adaptable, with the ability to learn new front-end technologies, frameworks, and tooling quickly.

- Analytical, disciplined, and collaborative able to solve complex front-end problems and work effectively across global teams.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE (NICE TO HAVE) :

- Familiarity with micro-front-end architectures or modular UI platforms at scale.

- Understanding of Talent, HR, or Workforce systems, with the ability to apply domain insights to front-end design decisions.
