Pair with backend engineers on API contracts before work starts. Build UI features in React and TypeScript from Figma designs. Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser.

1+ years building production web applications. Solid HTML and CSS, including Flexbox, Grid and responsive layouts. Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup.
