Lead development of complex, user-facing web applications using React + TypeScript, owning the front-end architecture and delivery approach.
Develop microservices / API contracts (GraphQL/REST) using Java and Spring technologies and front-end friendly design patterns (pagination, filtering, error models).
Partner with UX/Product to translate designs into polished experiences; influence requirements with feasibility, performance, and accessibility considerations.
Establish and evolve front-end standards: component architecture, state management, routing, code conventions, and testing practices.
Build using enterprise UI foundations: design system / component library, theming, responsive layouts, and cross-browser compatibility.
Drive performance and quality: Core Web Vitals, bundle optimization, rendering strategies, caching, and runtime observability.
Implement advanced UI capabilities such as rich data visualization, real-time updates, offline-friendly patterns, and robust form/workflow experiences.

Expert-level React proficiency (hooks, component composition, context, rendering behavior, concurrency-related patterns where applicable).
Strong TypeScript skills (types-as-design, generics, strictness strategies) and modern JavaScript fundamentals.
Strong Java and Java Spring skills to develop microservices / API contracts (GraphQL/REST) with front-end friendly design patterns.
Deep experience with modern front-end tooling: Vite/Webpack, Babel/SWC, npm/pnpm/yarn, monorepos (optional), and build/release pipelines.

Security awareness for web apps: XSS/CSRF prevention, dependency hygiene, secure auth/session patterns (OIDC awareness a plus).
Observability for the front end: client-side logging/metrics, error reporting, and debugging production issues.
MUST: Proficiency using AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate implementation, refactoring, test creation, and debugging while validating correctness and adhering to secure handling practices.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with SSR/meta frameworks: Next.js / Remix and SEO considerations.
Experience leveraging a design system (Storybook, tokens).
Experience with micro-frontend patterns and module federation (where relevant).
Experience with visualization and rich UI: D3, Canvas/WebGL, advanced tables/grids, animation libraries.
Familiarity with authentication integrations (OIDC/OAuth2) and enterprise SSO constraints.
Proven track record modernizing legacy front ends and improving developer experience (DX).
