• Translate designs and wireframes into high-quality, pixel-perfect code, paying attention to details and ensuring cross-browser compatibility.

• Enhance the operating efficiency of existing programs through optimizations, revisions, or expansions.

• Write well-designed, testable, and efficient code following best practices and industry standards.

• Conduct quality assurance testing to ensure the website functions properly across different devices and browsers.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in front-end web development, with a strong focus on React.js.

• 1-2 years of experience in UI development, creating visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces.

• Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, along with JavaScript/TypeScript fluency using React.

• Solid experience with React and its core principles, demonstrating expertise in building complex and interactive applications.

• Familiarity with interacting with RESTful Web Services, Web APIs, and microservices to integrate frontend with backend functionalities.

• Exposure to common front-end development tools such as Vite, NPM, etc.

• Experience with popular design frameworks like MUI, Tailwind, Chakra, etc., and the ability to leverage them effectively.

• Strong understanding of version control systems, preferably Git, to collaborate with the development team efficiently.

• Ability to work during Eastern Standard Time hours (9 am to 5 pm).

• Capable of thriving in a fast-paced and deadline-driven work environment.

• Hunger for learning and a strong desire to improve skills and grow with us.

Preferred Skills:

• A knack for benchmarking and optimization, continuously seeking ways to improve application performance.

• Experience with Material UI (v5+) to enhance the UI design and user experience.
