The Frontend Developer will turn product concepts into interactive web experiences that meet performance and accessibility goals. Working closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers, the developer builds responsive user interfaces, ensures cross‑browser consistency, and integrates API data into seamless workflows. Ownership includes delivering reusable components, troubleshooting UI defects, and contributing to the front‑end build pipeline.
The role requires independent execution of feature tasks while collaborating on technical decisions that affect the user‑facing layer of the application.

- Debug and resolve cross-browser compatibility issues using Chrome DevTools.
- Maintain and evolve the shared component library and style guide.
- Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate RESTful APIs and handle data flow.
