You will bridge the gaps between the Design, IT, and Business departments, presenting different approaches for implementing designs, maintaining backward compatibility, and advocating for responsive design and accessibility improvements.

Key Responsibilities

Refactor and modernize a legacy application built with React, TypeScript, and Redux.
Implement new features using frameworks like Sass, Cypress, React Router, Amplify UI, and Git.

Present findings, requirements, and trade-offs to the team for review and prioritization.
Fill gaps in design fidelity and work around inconsistent product specifications/API features.
Advocate for in-the-moment responsive design and accessibility improvements, despite their deprioritization.

Experience with Redux, Sass, Cypress tests, and React Router.
Familiarity with Amplify UI or similar UI frameworks (experience with Tailwind is a plus).
Strong understanding of Git and version control best practices.
Ability to evaluate system components, make recommendations, and prioritize technical debt versus new feature work.
Experience working in environments where teams (design, IT, business) are not fully synchronized.
Strong communication skills to present trade-offs and technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

Knowledge of Next.js and experience transitioning from older approaches to modern frameworks.
Familiarity with unit tests, component tests, and visual regression testing.
Previous experience working in fast-paced environments with limited roadmaps and evolving requirements.
