About The Position

We are seeking a Front-End Software Engineer with extensive experience related to front-end software development and who is capable of not only delivering a capability in that form but can also pass their knowledge on to others. The candidate will be responsible for creating the user facing side of the application as it operates in a web page. The candidate will take requirements from a teammate with User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) expertise in the form of wireframes, site maps, diagrams/schematics, process maps, feature lists, mock-ups and visual specifications. Lean Agile is the development process used on the team so familiarity with that methodology is key. The ability to seamlessly connect the front end of the application to the data tier via the microservices and middleware components is expected. Responsibility for development of unit tests and the automated execution of those tests as well as participation in end-to-end testing is required.
