## Description

We're looking for a Nuxt 4 / Vue 3 leader who can both code and coach. About 60% of the time you'll build responsive dashboards, Plotly charts, and virtualized TanStack tables that stay fast even with 100K+ rows. The rest is architecture decisions, mentoring, and keeping our GitLab pipelines healthy.

What you'll do

 * Own frontend architecture and keep our CSR (client-side rendering) experience fast and stable.
 * Build reusable interactive analytics using D3.js / Chart.js / Plotly or similar tools with regression/trend overlays.
 * Guide developers via reviews, pairing, and clear standards.
 * Partner with backend/cloud teams on Redshift query shapes, Valkey caching layers, and Nitro endpoints.
 * Work within GitLab pipelines, SonarQube quality gates, and artifact-based releases.
 * Keep pipelines green (Vitest, Cypress, SonarQube) and watch performance/health checks.
