- Integrate frontend applications with REST and GraphQL APIs, contributing to API design and contract definition in collaboration with backend engineers.
- Work in a Hybrid Engineering model and contribute to all phases of the SDLC including design, discovery, implementation, code reviews, automation, and testing.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests with a focus on frontend quality.
- Contribute to backend services and infrastructure as needed, including API endpoints and AWS-based services, with support from backend teammates.
- Mentor and inspire team members through code reviews and dedicated sessions, fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.
- Drive technical excellence by establishing and upholding high standards for code quality, performance, and reliability.
- Thrive in a culture of ownership, delivery, and innovation.
