  • Demonstrable experience in building solutions based on an understanding of your users and the objectives of the business
  • Experience translating design artifacts e.g. Figma prototypes, into scalable and maintainable front-end code.
  • Demonstrable experience in taking complex solutions and breaking them into development iterations that provide early value to customers
  • Deep understanding of the use of APIs such as GraphQL in front end software applications
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG), performance optimization and experience with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress, Playwright)
  • Sound understanding of design and architectural patterns, and coding practices
  • Experience with software development and quality processes, especially Agile development methodologies
