Integrate frontend systems with APIs and backend services.
Define and promote frontend architecture, best practices, and coding standards.
Mentor and support 2–3 developers in the immediate team while collaborating with a broader engineering group of ~10 developers.
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical planning.
Collaborate with DevOps teams on CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and platform reliability.
Act as a technical resource for complex frontend or platform-related issues.
Qualifications
8+ years of professional web development experience, with strong frontend engineering expertise.
Solid experience with modern JavaScript frameworks such as React or Vue and component-based UI development.
Strong understanding of modern frontend architecture, API integration, and scalable web applications.
Experience working with or migrating CMS-based platforms such as Drupal or WordPress is a huge plus.
