  • Improve the user experience through thoughtful UI/UX enhancements and performance tuning
  • Style and maintain responsive, accessible interfaces using modern CSS practices
  • Collaborate on visual design improvements to ensure the interface is clean, modern, and user-friendly
  • Participate in code reviews to help maintain consistency, quality, and best practices across the codebase
  • Work closely with teammates to understand user feedback and rapidly iterate on solutions

    What You’ll Bring

    • Experience with React and Next.js for building modern web interfaces
    • Proficiency in Typescript with a strong understanding of typing, interfaces, and front-end development practices
    • Familiarity with Git and GitHub for version control and team collaboration
    • Interest in user-centered design and front-end performance optimization
    • A strong eye for detail and a passion for clean, maintainable code

      Nice-to-Haves

      • Experience with TailwindCSS or similar utility-first CSS frameworks
      • Exposure to Docker or similar container tools
      • Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS or Azure
