Key Responsibilities

- Product Collaboration: Partner with product owners, designers, and stakeholders to understand needs, translate UX into technical requirements, and perform gap analysis.
- Front end Architecture: Design component libraries, UI patterns, and client side architecture (state, data flows, caching, error handling) aligned with platform and backend constraints.
- Integration: Define and implement robust integrations with backend APIs (REST/SOAP), real time services, and edge/CDN strategies.
- Scalability & Performance: Drive decisions for performance, offline/resilience, bundle strategies, and progressive enhancement across devices and networks.
- Accessibility & Internationalization: Incorporate accessibility (WCAG) and localization at design time to ensure inclusive, global ready experiences.

Software Development & Quality Engineering
- Production Code: Write clean, maintainable, production grade front end code using TypeScript and React/Next.js (or chosen framework).
