• Own features end-to-end: requirements, design, implementation, testing, rollout, and iteration. 
• Partner directly with production, operations, and engineering to understand workflows and translate them into intuitive digital tools.
• Contribute to our design system and build reusable components. 
• Integrate with backend APIs and participate in API design discussions. 
• Identify UX issues, propose improvements, and help shape product direction. 

• Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with!
• Experience in frontend, product or full-stack engineering. 
• Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and modern component architecture. 
• Skilled in UX/UI design with Figma and capable of turning designs into polished interfaces. 
• Comfortable working directly with end users and owning features in a fast-paced environment. 
• Strong eye for usability, clean UI, and thoughtful interaction design. 
• High autonomy, strong ownership mindset, and interest in understanding physical workflows.
