• Establish consistent standards for frontend testing, visual quality, and release confidence.

• Set expectations for frontend performance and drive improvements to Core Web Vitals, bundle size, responsiveness, and runtime reliability, making sound rendering decisions across server‑side rendering, static generation, and client‑side interactivity.
• Improve frontend observability by partnering with backend and platform engineers on logging, error tracking, tracing, and product analytics.
• Design resilient client behavior around loading failures, stale data, retries, and degraded backend conditions.

• Partner with backend and platform teams on the BFF/API layer, supporting web application, and contributing to endpoint design, contracts, authentication flows, and developer ergonomics.
• Work effectively with AWS‑hosted and serverless environments with an understanding…
