• Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate APIs, manage data flows, and ensure a seamless end‑to‑end experience.
• Establish and champion best practices in coding standards, architecture, documentation, and frontend processes.
• Conduct thorough code reviews to maintain code quality, scalability, and maintainability.
• Implement testing strategies using tools such as Jest, Cypress, or Playwright to support robust, reliable releases.
• Ensure interfaces are accessible and meet WCAG standards.
• Diagnose and resolve complex UI issues, including performance bottlenecks, browser inconsistencies, and rendering challenges.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by suggesting new tools, frameworks, and approaches to enhance developer experience and product quality.

• Reduced bugs, faster delivery cycles, and improved reliability through thoughtful testing strategies, automation, and proactive technical decision‑making.
• Clear ownership and accountability, taking responsibility for end‑to‑end delivery of features, ensuring quality at each stage.
• Meaningful impact on product direction, providing input on architecture, UI strategy, component libraries, and future technical choices.
• Positive influence within the team, mentoring others, sharing knowledge, and helping build a supportive, high‑performing engineering culture.
• A proactive approach to innovation, introducing modern techniques, tools, or ideas that elevate the user experience and developer experience.
• Visible contributions to shaping the future of the frontend function, particularly as the team grows into new technologies such as PWAs, desktop apps, and browser extensions.
