• Integrate frontend components with cloud, GIS technologies, APIs, and SDKs
• Write unit tests and maintain technical documentation for new features
• Own the end-to-end feature lifecycle, from design and implementation through deployment
• Respond actively to product feedback, balancing immediate fixes with longer-term improvements
• Contribute to and uphold coding standards, frontend best practices, and architectural guidelines

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in modern web technologies, including TypeScript and React
• Solid understanding of frontend architecture patterns and software design principles
• Experience or exposure to cloud-based environments
