• Build and maintain a reusable Svelte component library and scalable design system.


• Translate product requirements and design specifications into clean, composable, responsive, and accessible components.


• Own frontend SEO fundamentals, including semantic HTML, metadata, structured data, sitemaps, and canonicalization.


• Establish frontend testing standards using Vitest for unit testing and Playwright for end-to-end testing.


• Define development tooling and developer experience practices, including linting, formatting, type checking, pre-commit hooks, and CI quality gates.


• Lead code reviews and continuously improve frontend engineering quality and standards.


• Drive technical planning, architecture decisions, ADRs, and broader frontend discussions.


• Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs and contribute to API contract design when relevant.


• Support CI/CD workflows and deployments across AWS infrastructure.


• Monitor, analyze, and optimize frontend performance using tools such as Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and real-user monitoring.


• Incorporate agentic AI development tools into day-to-day engineering workflows to improve delivery speed and effectiveness.
