  • Apply and promote secure coding practices (XSS, CSRF mitigation, data protection).
  • Drive testing strategy and implementation using Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, or similar tools.
  • Monitor, analyze, and improve front-end performance and observability using tools like Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals.
  • Collaborate with DevOps teams to support containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes for front-end applications.
  • Establish and promote best practices for micro-frontends, code quality, and engineering standards.
  • Mentor developers, perform code reviews, and elevate overall team capability and code quality.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, UX, backend, and DevOps teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
  • Actively participate in Agile workflows and contribute to continuous delivery and engineering excellence.
  • Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies and innovations into the front-end ecosystem.
