Responsibilities

Develop highly scalable front-end applications using React JS, AG Grid, HTML5 and CSS3.
Deliver to production on Azure using CI/CD (GitHub Actions) and integrated Azure services
Collaborate and join with backend engineers to enhance Python/Django APIs and deliver end-to-end features
Identify and resolve performance issues and bottlenecks
Implement authentication and authorization across systems and environments
Write maintainable, well-tested code (unit tests), and help define and raise the team's engineering standards
Produce clear documentation and communicate technical decisions effectively
Collaborate effectively, take ownership, and work independently when needed

Key skills and competencies

Strong professional experience building production UI applications with TypeScript and a modern JavaScript framework (React/Vue/Angular/etc.)
Hands-on experience with advanced data grids (AG Grid strongly preferred) including server-side data loading, filtering, and performance tuning
Strong front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS, browser APIs, accessibility, performance)
Comfort working across the stack: consuming and evolving APIs (Python/Django exposure is a plus; willingness to learn is required)
Experience with data modeling and SQL
Experience building and maintaining shared UI component libraries and design systems (Storybook)
Experience implementing authentication/authorization patterns (SSO, OIDC/OAuth2, RBAC)
Experience with modern front-end build and tooling (Node.js, Vite, npm workspaces/monorepos)
Proven track record improving code quality: testing, review practices, refactoring, and setting team conventions
Experience delivering software in a CI/CD environment (GitHub Actions or similar)
Cloud experience deploying and operating web applications (AWS/GCP/Azure all acceptable; Azure is what we use)
Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to document decisions and align stakeholders

Nice to Have Skills:

Broader backend experience beyond Python/Django (e.g., Node.js, Java, .NET) and non-REST integration patterns (events/queues, gRPC)
Practical familiarity with Azure services and operational concerns (app hosting, identity, networking, observability)
Experience using LLM-assisted development tools effectively on large codebases (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot)
