We are seeking a hands-on UI Engineer to own the development and delivery of high-quality user interfaces across core product areas. This role is focused on building polished, scalable, production-ready front-end experiences that are responsive, accessible, performant, and easy to maintain.

This is a hands-on engineering role, not a purely design or advisory position. The successful candidate will be expected to write production code, make practical front-end architecture decisions, improve usability, and help establish reusable component patterns that support long-term product quality.

- Strong understanding of component-based architecture, reusable components, and design systems.
- Experience integrating front-end applications with APIs and back-end services.
