If you love building exceptional user experiences, care deeply about craft, and thrive in fast-moving environments, this role is for you. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Ship Exceptional Frontend Experiences * Partner with Product and Design to translate ambiguous requirements into well-scoped, elegant technical solutions. * Own the full frontend development lifecycle — from architecture and implementation to testing, release, and iteration. Drive Frontend Excellence * Set and uphold high standards for code quality, component design, accessibility, and performance. * Participate in code reviews, tech-spec reviews, and on-call rotations. * Continuously improve engineering practices across our frontend codebase.
