Drive UX strategy through data-backed insights, usability testing, user journey mapping, and design thinking workshops
Build and maintain a design system that ensures consistency, accessibility (WCAG compliance), and alignment between design and development
Define and enforce frontend testing strategies (unit, integration, and E2E) using tools like Jest, Cypress, and React Testing Library
Implement frontend observability practices including real user monitoring, performance tracking, and error logging (e.g., Sentry, Datadog)
Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and high-performance applications
Implement trunk-based development practices to enable continuous integration and rapid delivery
Develop clean, maintainable, and testable code following SOLID principles and software design best practices
Ensure high levels of unit test coverage, test-driven development (TDD), and behavior-driven development (BDD)
Actively contribute to hands-on coding, code reviews, and refactoring to maintain high engineering standards
Drive the adoption of modern engineering ways of working, including Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD
Advocate for automated testing, infrastructure as code, and continuous monitoring to enhance software reliability
Apply Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), Test-Driven Development (TDD), and unit testing to ensure code quality and functionality
Conduct thorough code reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices in readability, performance, and security
Implement and enforce secure coding practices, performing vulnerability assessments and ensuring compliance with security standards
Collaborate effectively in agile environments, embracing DevOps principles and fostering a culture of continuous delivery and improvement
Partner with architects, product owners, and cross-functional teams to design scalable and distributed systems
Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of engineering excellence and continuous learning
Collaborate closely with DevOps teams to optimize deployments, observability, and production resilience
Lead technical discussions, contribute to design documentation, and provide guidance on modern software architectures

Requirements:

10+ years of experience in UI/UX design and frontend development, with at least 3 years in a leadership/UI architect role
Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Angular, or similar modern frameworks
Deep understanding of UI architecture, design patterns, and performance optimization techniques
Hands-on experience in user research, wireframing, prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch)
Familiarity with design systems, accessibility guidelines, and responsive design principles
Strong command over version control (Git), CI/CD practices, and agile product development workflows
Exposure to backend integration, GraphQL/REST APIs
Experience with frontend monitoring and analytics tools such as Matomo, New Relic
Proficiency in TDD, BDD, and automation-first mindset to ensure high test coverage and reliability
Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices
Experience conducting code reviews, vulnerability assessments, and secure coding
Exposure to modern cloud-native technologies (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker)
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in fast-paced, agile environments
Knowledge of performance tuning, observability, and production monitoring
Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to have:
