JOB DESCRIPTION

This is a FROM NEW START/GREENFIELD DEVELOPMENT ROLE. The successful Candidate must have hands on development experience with building a new system from scratch. Not enhancing of migrating a legacy system - but from scratch.

• Collaborate with designers, back-end developers, and product owners to deliver seamless user experiences.
• Implement and maintain component libraries and reusable front-end modules.
• Ensure cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility.
• Optimize applications for speed and scalability.
• Contribute to code reviews, maintain code quality, and follow best practices.
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and front-end trends.

REQUIREMENTS

legacy code: The development team starts with a blank slate.
