  • Component Mastery: Build and optimize reusable, accessible-by-default frontend components and libraries for maximum performance across various web browsers.
  • Technical Strategy: Participate in consultation with the Development Lead to estimate efforts and solve complex frontend architecture challenges, such as focus management in single-page applications.

  • Proactive Problem Solving: Identify and fix UI/UX bottlenecks and bugs that impact the end-user experience.

What You’ll Need:

  • AI Proficiency: Leveraging AI IDEs (e.g., Cursor) and AI-powered tools as a fundamental practice, with a proven track record of using them to consistently accelerate and enhance UI/UX development and modification.
  • Experience: 8+ years of commercial software development experience in an agile environment as a strong Individual Contributor.
  • Technical Skillset: Expert-level knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 (SCSS), and JavaScript, combined with proficiency in the Web Tech Stack, including Node.js, jQuery, and Web Technologies (postMessage, local storage, service workers, etc.).
  • Framework Fluency: Significant experience with React and Angular. You should be comfortable working across both ecosystems.
  • UX Sensibility: A strong eye for detail and the ability to empathize with the customer’s viewpoint. You understand that "done" means the feature works and it feels good to use, and it is usable by everyone.
  • Design Systems Experience: Proven experience working with and contributing to Design Systems, including building reusable components, maintaining consistency across products, and collaborating closely with Design to evolve shared patterns and guidelines at scale.
  • Accessible Systems: Deep understanding of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and how they apply to modern web/mobile interfaces.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
