This is a high-impact role where you’ll lead architecture decisions, elevate frontend standards, and mentor a cross-functional team—while staying close to the code.

- Evolve and maintain our design system, leveraging tools like Figma and Storybook
- Set the tone for code quality, performance, accessibility, and maintainability
- Build scalable, reusable component-driven UIs with React, JavaScript, and TypeScript
- Stay hands-on, writing clean, testable code and participating in code reviews
- Support and mentor engineers, sharing context and raising the bar for the team
- Champion frontend resilience and reliability, even when things go sideways
- Frontend: React, JavaScript, TypeScript
- UI/UX: Storybook, Figma, design system architecture
- Testing: Cypress, Chromatic
- Data: JSON, REST APIs
- Bonus: Exposure to Node.js for full-stack collaboration
