  • Ensure strong performance and accessibility across browsers and devices.

  • Write unit and E2E tests, participate in code reviews, and uphold frontend best practices.

  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver high-quality, user-centric features.

  • Strong understanding of accessibility (WCAG), responsive layouts, and UI performance.

  • Experience developing or contributing to a design system.

  • Familiarity with modern testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress).

  • Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional product teams.

Nice-to-Have
  • Experience with Next.js (SSR/SSG).

  • Familiarity with data visualization (Recharts, D3).

  • Knowledge of build tools (Vite, Webpack) and monorepo setups (Nx, Turborepo).

  • Experience with feature flags, analytics instrumentation, or experimentation frameworks.
