Job description

As part of a cross functional, globally distributed team of software engineers, quality engineers, and a UX designer, you'll work on a diverse set of training platforms. You'll focus primarily on the front-end development, leveraging technologies like ReactJS, TypeScript, and PatternFly, while working comfortably enough with Python and Django REST APIs to integrate with and troubleshoot backend services. Work is prioritised through the engineering backlog and ranges from design system and theming initiatives to learner-facing feature development, with a possible option to extend into backend (Python/Django) work.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to enhance the customer learning experience on the training platforms through work areas such as:

  • Building and maintaining front-end components and applications using ReactJS, TypeScript, and system libraries like PatternFly
  • Turning wireframes and mock-ups into polished, reusable, accessible UI components
  • Integrating front-end applications with backend services and REST/GraphQL APIs (Python/Django), including light troubleshooting on the backend when needed
  • Working with containers to set up a local development environment and support deployment on OpenShift
  • Working with the Principal UX Design Lead to keep Figma designs, design system patterns, and front-end implementation aligned.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Drive features from concept to completion: participate in design discussions, implement front-end solutions, test thoroughly, and support deployment to production
  • Build and maintain front-end applications across our training platform ecosystem, with a strong eye for UI quality, performance, and scalability
  • Implement design-system elements from Figma into reusable, accessible React components - including states (default, hover, active, selected, loading, success, error, disabled)
  • Build reusable UI patterns such as notification/toast frameworks and theming (light/dark/system-default) using design tokens
  • Working with the Principal UX Design Lead to keep Figma designs, design system patterns, and front-end implementation aligned.
  • Turn wireframes and mock-ups into reusable, well-structured, accessible React components
  • Integrate with backend services and APIs (Python/Django REST, GraphQL), and make minor backend changes or fixes when required, with opportunity to take on larger backend work over time
  • Participate in design-readiness reviews with UX and Product to confirm flow, data needs, component availability, and technical constraints before development begins
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineers, product managers, and UX designers to deliver innovative features
  • Enhance code quality through testing, code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Participate in the entire application development lifecycle, including design, coding, testing, implementation, deployment, and ongoing support
  • Troubleshoot and resolve bugs primarily on the front-end, with some cross-stack debugging
  • Share technical knowledge during engineering meetings and provide input on front-end architecture and system enhancements
  • Participate in agile ceremonies: story refinement, demos, retrospectives, regression testing, and application releases.

Requirements

  • Proven experience designing and implementing modern web applications, with a strong front-end focus
  • Deep experience with ReactJS and TypeScript, including component architecture, state management, and performance considerations
  • Experience with JavaScript/CSS libraries such as bootstrap
  • Working experience with Python, with enough comfort to read, debug, and make small changes to a Django REST API codebase
  • Experience consuming REST APIs; exposure to building or maintaining them is a plus
  • Experience with Linux container technologies (Docker or Podman) for local development
  • Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA)
  • Hands-on experience with front-end testing practices, including unit and component testing and experience reviewing others' code for UI quality
  • Figma proficiency: creating and refining designs, with confident use of components, variants, variables
  • Comfort prototyping rapidly when specifications are still evolving
  • Experience with SCM tools like GitHub or GitLab
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a remote setting
  • Capability to articulate and address technical problems collaboratively with the team
  • Understanding of version control, Agile practices, and kanban-based workflows
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly convey technical concepts to both technical and non-technical team members.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

  • Prior experience implementing theming (light/dark mode) in a production React application
  • Familiarity with GraphQL
  • Knowledge of end-to-end testing frameworks such as Selenium or Playwright
  • Exposure to OpenShift, ArgoCD, Tekton, or GitOps workflows
  • Experience with Elasticsearch or other search/data-indexing technologies
  • Prior experience contributing to or maintaining a design system component library
  • Interest or prior experience in backend development (Python/Django), as this role may expand into fullstack work over time
  • Work samples. This role blends engineering and design, so please share examples of both if you can - a public Figma file, Storybook instance, a repository, or even screenshots of component or design-system work. A formal design portfolio is not expected; share what you can.
  • Experience with AI-assisted design workflows

Benefits & conditions

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
