• Driving consistency through shared components (Design System experience is a plus), tooling, and engineering standards
• Supporting hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, and career growth for team members

• Have 8 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor in Computer Science or a related field
• Demonstrate solid knowledge of front-end technologies including HTML, CSS, TypeScript and JavaScript
