Designing and building performant UIs for data-heavy, real-time features such as maps, live dashboards, and large tables
Developing frontend modules using React, TanStack tools (React Query, Table), and CSS Modules
Owning fullstack features end-to-end, including backend APIs in Node.js where needed
Collaborating within a monorepo (Nx) to share code across frontend and backend boundaries
Continuously improving UI rendering performance, DX, and maintainability
Working closely with product, design, and engineering teams to create intuitive, reliable user experiences
Participating in brainstorming sessions, customer feedback forums, and product ideation

You’re comfortable implementing or collaborating on REST APIs and backend logic using Node.js
You’ve deployed and maintained frontend apps with a focus on reliability, observability, and developer experience
You’re comfortable taking ownership of projects — from design to deployment and beyond
You mentor other engineers and contribute to growing team capabilities
