• Make Front End technical recommendations within assigned scope, aligning with agreed architectural direction and escalating broader decisions as appropriate.
• Ensure adherence to established code review standards and quality gates for all Front End changes delivered.
• Continuously validate and maintain Front End build and deployment pipelines:
  • Ensure changes do not break build, test, or deployment stages
  • Make improvements as necessary to support reliable Front End delivery
  • Act as a guide for other developers to ensure pipeline practices are understood and maintained
• Write and maintain unit and integration tests as a standard part of development.
• Support and contribute to UI and API test automation efforts, working closely with the test team (who retain ownership of overall outcomes).

• Support Agile delivery practices, including planning, estimation, backlog refinement, and iterative delivery.
• Use and support development tooling and processes, including CI/CD pipelines and integrated security scanning.
• Mentor and guide other Front End engineers through code reviews, pairing, and informal technical coaching.
• Act as a senior technical point of reference for complex UI and Front End engineering challenges.

Key Skills (Required)
