You will work in close partnership with product owners, designers, technical leads, engineers, and delivery professionals to create engaging digital experiences that meet complex business needs.
In this role, you will take ownership of building scalable, reusable UI components and front‑end architectures, leveraging ReactJS, modern JavaScript/TypeScript patterns, and supporting frameworks and libraries. You will collaborate across the stack, integrating with .NET, Python, and SQL/NoSQL‑based services, while maintaining a strong focus on front‑end quality, performance, accessibility, and usability.
