• Collaborate effectively with backend, product, and QA partners in a remote, nearshore environment.
• Deliver high-quality code in a rapid, iterative delivery model.
• Optimize applications for performance, accessibility, and responsiveness across browsers and devices.
• Participate in code reviews and follow established front-end standards and conventions.
