Experience with animation libraries (e.g., Framer Motion) or data visualization tools (e.g., D3.js, Recharts).

Responsibilities

Lead implementation for large features or multi-sprint projects, driving frontend execution and delivery using React and TypeScript.
Architect and build scalable, reusable component libraries and design system integrations that ensure consistency across the product.
Decompose complex problems into milestones; translate acceptance criteria and design specs into robust, accessible UI solutions.
Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance; elevate team frontend capabilities.
Influence engineering practices (testing, design hygiene, performance, accessibility) to raise overall quality.
Contribute to proofs-of-concept and prototypes to validate UX approaches and reduce delivery risk.
Collaborate effectively with designers, product managers, QA, and backend engineers throughout development and testing.
Other duties as assigned.
