Champion performance, accessibility, TypeScript rigor, and developer experience improvements
Drive code reviews, architectural discussions, and incremental upgrades to our frontend stack

Requirements:

2+ years of professional experience building modern frontend applications
Expertise in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and state management frameworks (e.g., Redux)
Comfortable taking technical ownership and making decisions that impact product direction
Strong foundation in UI architecture, performance optimization, and modern component patterns
Proficiency with API integration (REST/GraphQL), async data handling, and error management
Experience building and maintaining reusable component systems and documentation
Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Nice to have:
