• Contribute to quality with unit, integration, and end-to-end tests (Jest, Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress). 

• Optimize performance (code splitting, memoization, lazy loading) and instrument UX telemetry (Web Vitals) for data-driven iteration. 

• Ship with CI/CD (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions), and take part in release trains, feature flags, and canary rollouts. 

• Partner with UX to run quick usability tests and iterate, providing engineering feedback to improve feasibility and performance. 

• Document front-end patterns and component APIs, and take part in code reviews to raise the bar. 

• Continuously build your skills and keep up with emerging front-end and AI tools.
