• Diagnose and resolve technical issues affecting UI performance, reliability, and maintainability
• Translate wireframes, mockups, and design specifications into responsive, accessible front-end implementations
• Partner with designers, product owners, and stakeholders to help maintain a consistent, standardized look-and-feel and user experience across applications
• Work closely with the functional team to determine feasibility of requirements and collaborate on implementation approach
• Ensure product quality and timeliness of work, providing advice and guidance, resolving problems to meet objectives, and providing periodic performance reports
• Work independently and efficiently within an agile software development environment

• Experience with responsive and mobile-first development
• Use data, validation, and feedback strategies that deliver code backed by qualitative and quantitative testing
• Ability to translate wireframes, mockups, and design specifications into working, production-quality front-end code
• Ability to understand trade-offs between design intent, technical feasibility, and long-term maintainability
• Experience developing applications, from consumer-facing to internal tools
• Familiarity with enterprise UI design/handoff tools such as Figma is a plus
