- The candidate will take requirements from a teammate with User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) expertise in the form of wireframes, site maps, diagrams/schematics, process maps, feature lists, mock-ups and visual specifications.
- Lean Agile is the development process used on the team so familiarity with that methodology is key.
- The ability to seamlessly connect the front end of the application to the data tier via the microservices and middleware components is expected.
- Responsibility for development of unit tests and the automated execution of those tests as well as participation in end-to-end testing is required.

- Use of front-end markup languages, with experience implementing responsive designs using Bootstrap framework.
- Work closely with UI/UX designers, transform wireframes, mockup, and prototypes into designs to ensure seamless user experience aligns to HCI principles.
- Integrate front-end components with back-end services using RESTful APIs or GraphQL to fetch, display and update data in real-time applications.
- Implement front end best practices for performance optimization (e.g. lazy loading, code splitting); ensure secure communications between front end and back end services.
- Use GIT for version control; manage codebases and branching strategies.
- Use front end testing frameworks/tools (e.g. Playwright, Jest, Mocha, Cypress) to create unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure code stability and high quality output.
