  • Experience consuming RESTful APIs and collaborating with backend developers to shape API contracts. 
  • Understanding of accessibility and compliance standards common in government systems. 
  • Experience deploying front end applications to AWS services such as S3, CloudFront, API Gateway, and Cognito. 
  • Strong troubleshooting skills in UI performance, rendering, and cross browser compatibility. 
  • Self directed with the ability to own features from concept to production.
Preferred Skills
  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript. 
  • React.js, React Router, and component-based architecture. 
  • SPA security patterns for authenticated applications.

  • RESTful API integration patterns. 
  • Basic backend development in Java or .NET for full stack feature work.

  • CI/CD practices for building, testing, and deploying front end assets. 
  • Agile methodology.
