Front-end engineering: Design, develop, test, and maintain responsive web applications using React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS/SCSS, and modern component-driven UI patterns.
Mobile enablement: Build or support mobile-friendly workflows and, where needed, contribute to React Native, Flutter, or native Android/iOS implementations.
Full-stack collaboration: Partner with backend engineers to integrate UI capabilities with REST APIs, Java/Spring Boot services, Kafka/event-driven workflows, and enterprise data sources.
Domain delivery: Translate Supply Chain Order Management, Wholesale, and Transportation requirements into intuitive user journeys, reusable components, and reliable production features.
Quality ownership: Own unit, integration, end-to-end, accessibility, regression, and mobile testing expectations using tools such as Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, or equivalent.
Performance and reliability: Tune front-end performance, address browser/mobile compatibility issues, contribute to observability, and troubleshoot production issues across UI, API, and integration layers.
Engineering standards: Write clean, maintainable code; participate in code reviews; contribute to design reviews; and model secure development, CI/CD, and DevOps practices.
AI-assisted development: Use GitHub Copilot or similar tools for productivity, test scaffolding, refactoring, and documentation while validating generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability.
Team collaboration: Work effectively with peer engineers, architects, product owners, QA, SRE/DevOps, and business stakeholders across geographies.
Mentoring: Guide less experienced engineers on coding standards, quality practices, debugging, and front-end architecture patterns.
