- Design, implement, and validate responsive and accessible user experiences in production
- Collaborate with DevOps and cloud teams to ensure smooth deployments and monitoring in AWS (CloudFront/CDN) environments
- Ensure front‑end applications incorporate security best practices, including safe authentication flows and protection against common vulnerabilities such as XSS and CSRF
- Implement and maintain front‑end monitoring, logging, and error tracking to ensure reliable and seamless user experiences
- Collaborate with DevOps/Cloud teams to instrument observability tools for front‑end performance, availability, and error reporting
- Ensure sufficient unit test coverage for front‑end components and mentor junior engineers in adopting testing best practices
- Contribute to Agile delivery processes by participating in sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand‑ups, and retrospectives
- Mentor junior developers and enforce best practices in code structure, reusability, and accessibility
- Participate in interviews and hiring to help grow the engineering team Required Skills & Experience
- 5+ years of professional experience in front‑end development with React.js and modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks
- Strong experience with REST API consumption, error handling, and performance tuning
- Experience integrating with modern APIs, including REST, GraphQL, and WebSockets

- Hands‑on experience with Material UI, Tailwind CSS, or other reusable component/CSS frameworks
- Experience working with CDNs (e.g., AWS CloudFront) for application performance optimization
- Experience deploying and monitoring applications on cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, Git, and containerization
- Proficiency in leveraging AI‑assisted coding tools to accelerate development, improve code quality, and enhance productivity
- Awareness of front‑end security best practices (XSS, CSRF, authentication flows)
- Strong experience in Agile development, including contributing to sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives to ensure high‑quality delivery
- Exposure to front‑end monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog, New Relic) for tracking performance and errors
- Understanding of key front‑end performance metrics (e.g., page load times, Core Web Vitals, responsiveness) and ability to use observability data to improve user experience
- Understanding of modern module bundlers (Webpack, Vite, Esbuild, Bun, etc.)
- Experience writing and maintaining unit and integration tests, with the ability to guide less‑experienced engineers in adopting testing best practices Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with additional front‑end frameworks (e.g., Next.js, Blazor) is a plus
- Ability to evaluate emerging front‑end‑focused AI tools and approaches, and advocate for their adoption to improve team productivity and maintain modern engineering practices
- Familiarity with media pipeline workflows, asset management, or digital distribution platforms
- Knowledge of performance tuning tools (e.g., Lighthouse, React Profiler)
- Exposure to full‑stack development with .NET Core is a nice‑to‑have
- Media & entertainment industry experience is a plus Soft Skills
