• Collaborate closely with UI/UX designers, product managers, and backend engineers to translate concepts into high-quality, scalable code.

• Collaborate on the design and development of APIs to ensure seamless and secure data flow between the frontend and backend systems.

• Build and maintain reusable component libraries to ensure consistency and efficiency across our applications.

• Champion best practices in frontend development, including code quality, performance optimization, and accessibility.

Requirements

• A university degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science) or equivalent practical experience, including at least three years of software development with strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and React.

• Experience building modern web applications with Next.js for server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG).

• A deep understanding of user experience (UX) principles and a demonstrated passion for building intuitive, user-centered interfaces.

• Strong problem-solving skills, with a creative and pragmatic approach to overcoming technical challenges.

• A proven ability to work effectively as a reliable team player with a disciplined work ethic, while also being self-motivated and proactive.

• Excellent communication skills, with an ability to effectively collaborate with both technical and non-technical team members.

• Knowledge of software development best practices, including version control (Git), testing, and deployment methodologies.

• A desire to learn new skills and technologies.

• Experience with Python/backend development, UI/UX design tools (e.g., Figma), and web accessibility standards (WCAG) are all a plus.
