• User-Centered Design: Collaborate with UX designers to implement user-friendly interfaces that are intuitive, responsive, and performant across different devices and browsers.
• Performance Optimization: Optimize front-end code for maximum speed and scalability, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
• Testing: Write unit tests and end-to-end tests for front-end components to ensure code quality and minimize defects.
• Continuous Learning: Stay up to date with the latest front-end trends, tools, and technologies to ensure our UI stack remains modern and competitive.
• Other duties as required.

Required Qualifications:

• Extensive Front-End Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in UI development, with deep expertise in modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js is preferred, or React/Angular with a willingness to learn Vue.js).
• Nuxt 3 Proficiency: Strong experience working with Nuxt 3 and its ecosystem, including Vue 3, Composition API, Vue Router, and Vuex.
• HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: Deep understanding of front-end technologies (HTML5, CSS3, SCSS) and JavaScript (ES6+).
• Responsive and Mobile-First Design: Proven ability to design and build responsive, mobile-first web applications that work across a wide range of devices and screen sizes.
• Mentorship Skills: Demonstrated experience mentoring or guiding junior developers, offering constructive feedback, and helping to shape the professional growth of others.
• UI/UX Collaboration: Experience working closely with UX/UI designers to bring designs to life and ensure high-quality, user-centered designs are implemented.
• Testing: Experience with front-end testing tools (e.g., Jest, Cypress, or Mocha) to ensure high-quality, bug-free code.
• Problem-Solving Mindset: Strong analytical skills and the ability to tackle complex front-end challenges while maintaining a focus on simplicity and performance.
• Security Best Practices: Strong understanding of security best practices, especially as they relate to data protection, authentication, and secure coding principles.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Design System Experience: Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system or component library to ensure consistency and reusability across projects.
• API Integration: Experience integrating front-end components with backend services, including RESTful APIs and GraphQL.
