• Full stack web dev (SPA frameworks on the front end, NodeJS / NestJS framework on the back end, strict TypeScript).
• Understanding what a Design System is (working with out of the box controls utilizing as many out of the box features as possible (e.g. Material, Carbon) – main goal is not to invent your own controls, our UX is very aware of this.
• Familiarity with Cloud (Azure in our case, but things like basic offerings for UI, API, DB, networking, storage, authentication, feature flagging).

Responsibilities:

• Develop UI components using modern SPA frameworks and strict TypeScript, following existing architecture and security guidelines.
• Assist in building backend features with NodeJS/NestJS, ensuring proper handling of data flows and API contracts.
• Work with proven Design Systems (Material, Carbon), using only standard components to maintain consistency and compliance.
• Support integration of UI with secure backend APIs, authentication mechanisms, and role-based access.
• Follow modern SDLC practices: version control, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, secure coding standards.
