Own   components and features end-to-end: analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. Build   reusable React components, implementing routing, state management, and   component composition using functional components and hooks. Translate   product requirements and UX designs into production-quality solutions, working closely with UX/UI to implement designs accurately. Integrate   front-end applications with REST APIs and back-end services, handling   asynchronous JavaScript and JSON data. Contribute   to front-end architecture discussions, bringing sound technical judgement to   component design and state-management decisions. Apply   SOLID and component-design principles (composition, reusability, separation   of concerns) to the features you build. Debug and   resolve issues in unfamiliar or complex parts of the front-end codebase. Apply   distributed-systems thinking (resilience, scalability, cost optimisation) to   the front-end services and integrations you own. Consider   SaaS delivery factors, such as scalability and multi-tenancy, when building   components and features. Promote   sound test strategy and help the team improve automated test coverage (unit, component, integration). Optimise   front-end performance (load time, rendering, bundle size) and follow   recognised accessibility (WCAG) practices. Apply   secure front-end development practices and follow Syspro’s secure coding   standards. Mentor   junior engineers on code quality and clarity through reviews and pairing. Customise   Azure DevOps boards, automate workflows, and manage build and release   pipelines. Resolve   merge conflicts and rebasing issues, and keep CI/CD pipeline configuration up   to date. Contribute   to modernising legacy user interfaces into modern, componentised React   experiences, under senior engineering guidance. Collaborate   with Product, UX/UI, Architecture, Quality, and back-end engineering teams to   deliver outcomes. Clarify   requirements, edge cases, and trade-offs with Product and other stakeholders, and help prioritise features based on business impact. Lead   technical discussions within the team and handle disagreements   constructively. Coach   teammates on Agile best practice and facilitate syncs with other teams. Own   delivery of features that span team boundaries, seeing them through from   design to production. Navigate   ambiguous requirements and make sound trade-off decisions with minimal   oversight. Support   technical decisions in planning sessions. Drive   retrospectives and continuous improvement, and help decompose epics into   deliverable, well-scoped work. Support   peers’ growth by helping them plan their own development. Identify   and drive improvements in how the team works together. Surface   technical risks, dependencies, and impediments early.
