  • Elevate Frontend Standards: Write high-quality, testable, and performant code. Establish frontend best practices, lead UI-focused design reviews, and champion accessibility and performance across the Integrated Services ecosystem.

  • Solid experience integrating complex frontend applications with backend microservices via gRPC.
  • A collaborative, full-stack mindset with the ability and willingness to navigate or contribute to backend services (e.g., Go or Node.js) when needed to unblock features.
  • Dedication to frontend testing best practices utilizing tools like Jest, Cypress, or React Testing Library.
  • Comfort working across modern CI/CD tooling, frontend build pipelines (e.g., Webpack, Vite), and collaborative Git-based workflows.
  • Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools in real delivery environments, including familiarity with tools like ClaudeCode and concepts such as CLAUDE.md project configuration and custom skills.
  • BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
