   • Collaborate with back-end developers to integrate front-end components with server-side logic and APIs.
   • Participate in design and code reviews to ensure high-quality, maintainable code.

3. Performance Optimization:

   • Optimize web pages for maximum speed and scalability by minimizing load times and reducing resource usage.
   • Implement performance optimization techniques such as lazy loading, image optimization, and efficient code structure.
   • Monitor and analyze site performance, using tools like Google Lighthouse, to identify and resolve bottlenecks.

4. Testing and Debugging:

   • Conduct thorough testing of web applications, including unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing.
   • Debug and resolve front-end issues, including cross-browser compatibility, responsive design problems, and JavaScript errors.
   • Work closely with QA teams to ensure that applications meet quality standards and user expectations.

5. UI/UX Enhancement:

   • Stay current with the latest front-end technologies, frameworks, and best practices to continually improve the user interface.
   • Implement accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) to ensure web applications are usable by all users, including those with disabilities.
   • Contribute to the development and maintenance of a design system or component library to ensure consistency across applications.

6. Documentation and Best Practices:

   • Write clean, well-documented code that follows best practices and coding standards.
   • Create and maintain technical documentation for front-end development processes and components.
   • Share knowledge with team members through code reviews, pair programming, and technical discussions.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Web Development, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of experience in front-end development or a similar role.
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and familiarity with modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries such as React, Angular, or Vue.js.
• Experience with CSS preprocessors (e.g., SASS, LESS) and responsive design frameworks (e.g., Bootstrap, Foundation).
• Knowledge of version control systems like Git and development workflows.
• Strong understanding of web standards, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js.
• Familiarity with front-end build tools and bundlers (e.g., Webpack, Gulp, Grunt).
• Knowledge of RESTful APIs and experience integrating front-end applications with server-side logic.
• Understanding of UI/UX principles and best practices for creating intuitive and engaging user interfaces.
• Experience with testing frameworks and tools (e.g., Jest, Mocha, Cypress).
• Familiarity with agile methodologies and working in an agile development environment.
