Full Job Description
About the Role

We're looking for a UX Dev who can own the technical direction of our front-end ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of design and engineering, ensuring our design system and shared libraries scale across multiple web and mobile applications.

You will be hands-on when needed, but your primary impact will come from architectural decisions, code quality, and raising the technical bar across the team.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Architecture & Frontend Direction
• Architectural decisions across Angular-based applications and shared libraries
• Maintain and evolve our design system implementation (Helix and related components)
• Identify structural risks and technical debt early
• Ensure consistency across web and mobile (Ionic/PWA)

Technical Planning & Work Structuring
• Break down technical initiatives into clear, actionable tasks
• Translate architectural decisions into scoped engineering efforts
• Support grooming and provide effort estimates based on technical complexity
• Surface dependencies and sequencing risks early

Code Quality & Standards
• Review pull requests in GitHub with a focus on maintainability and scalability
• Contribute to complex features and improvements when needed
• Define and reinforce frontend standards (Angular, TypeScript, SCSS)
• Ensure Figma designs are implemented accurately and pragmatically

Collaboration
• Work closely with UX Designers to validate feasibility and edge cases
• Partner with Product and Engineering to align on tradeoffs and timelines
• Support cross-team initiatives that rely on shared components
• Mentor developers and provide technical guidance

AI-Enabled Development
• Use tools like GitHub Copilot and AI agents effectively
• Set practical expectations for AI-assisted development
• Ensure AI is used to improve productivity without compromising quality

Tooling & Delivery
• Own development workflows in GitHub (PRs, reviews, issues)
• Coordinate work through Azure DevOps task tracking

Monitor CI/CD pipeline outcomes and release quality

What We're Looking For

Required
• Strong experience with Angular and TypeScript
• Deep understanding of modern JavaScript (ES6+), asynchronous patterns, and browser behavior
• Solid knowledge of the DOM, rendering lifecycle, and how frameworks interact with the browser
• Strong grasp of performance considerations (reflows, repainting, change detection, state updates)
• Experience building and maintaining shared component libraries or design systems
• Experience breaking down complex technical work into executable tasks
• Experience with modern Git-based workflows (GitHub)
• Strong code review and technical mentoring experience

Preferred
• Experience with NX monorepos
• Experience with Ionic
• Exposure to complex UI data components (grids, charts, data-heavy views)
• Familiarity with Cypress, Jest, or similar testing frameworks
• Experience working in environments where AI tools are part of the development workflow

What Success Looks Like
• Understand how our frontend architecture is structured
• Translate technical direction into clear Azure work items
• Raise the consistency and quality of pull requests
• Improve frontend performance and architectural clarity where needed
