• Translate product requirements and UX designs into accessible, semantic HTML and responsive layouts that work seamlessly across devices
• Develop scalable, maintainable styles grounded in modern CSS fundamentals, working across Sass, MUI, USWDS, and StyleX
• Implement automated testing, including unit, integration, and component tests (Vitest/Jest, React Testing Library), along with end-to-end coverage (Playwright or similar)
• Integrate with REST/JSON APIs, managing async state, loading and error states, pagination, and authenticated requests
• Participate in a Git-based merge-request workflow, including branching, code reviews, CI pipelines (GitLab CI preferred), and pre-commit hooks
• Work with modern build tools (Vite or similar) and package managers (Yarn/npm), including private registries
