HOW A FRONT END SOFTWARE DEVELOPER WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

• We are seeking a Front-End Software Developer with extensive experience related to front-end software development and who is capable of not only delivering a capability in that form but can also pass their knowledge on to others.
• The candidate will be responsible for creating the user facing side of the application as it operates in a web page.
• The candidate will take requirements from a teammate with User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) expertise in the form of wireframes, site maps, diagrams/schematics, process maps, feature lists, mock-ups and visual specifications.
• Lean Agile is the development process used on the team so familiarity with that methodology is key.
• The ability to seamlessly connect the front end of the application to the data tier via the microservices and middleware components is expected.
• Responsibility for development of unit tests and the automated execution of those tests as well as participation in end-to-end testing is required.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED:

• Education: BA/BS in Information Technology or related field or the equivalent combination of education, technical certifications or training, or work experience
• Experience: 8+ years
• Required skills:
• Experience in Javascript, including Es6+ features and experience with modern frameworks (React or Lit).
• Experience with Java.
• Use of front-end markup languages, with experience implementing responsive designs using Bootstrap framework.
• Work closely with UI/UX designers, transform wireframes, mockup, and prototypes into designs to ensure seamless user experience aligns to HCI principles.
• Integrate front-end components with back-end services using RESTful APIs or GraphQL to fetch, display and update data in real-time applications.
• Implement front end best practices for performance optimization (e.g. lazy loading, code splitting); ensure secure communications between front end and back end services.
• Use GIT for version control; manage codebases and branching strategies.
• Use front end testing frameworks/tools (e.g. Playwright, Jest, Mocha, Cypress) to create unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure code stability and high quality output.
