• Develop interfaces for metadata management, validation, publishing, scheduling, bulk operations, entity replication, and content administration.
• Build search, filtering, reporting, and processing-insights experiences across content, metadata, and asset attributes.
• Integrate frontend applications with REST APIs and asynchronous backend workflows.
• Handle complex forms, file uploads, tables, pagination, filtering, loading states, validation errors, and recovery flows.
• Present backend, publishing, transfer, and processing failures with clear and actionable guidance.
• Collaborate with Backend and Full Stack Engineers to define API contracts, data models, and end-to-end technical solutions.
• Own frontend quality through unit, integration, end-to-end, visual, accessibility, and performance testing.
• Monitor frontend performance and reliability using suitable logging, analytics, error tracking, and observability tools.
• Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, incident investigations, and production support.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to frontend engineering standards, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
