- Collaborate with designers and content strategists to translate Figma mockups and plain language content into effective frontend implementations.

- Familiarity with responsive design, ARIA roles, semantic HTML, and assistive technologies.
- Experience with state management tools, frontend performance optimization, and integration with RESTful APIs.
- Comfort working within agile teams and collaborating across disciplines including design, content, and backend engineering.
- Proficiency with tools like GitHub, Figma, Mural, and modern CI/CD practices.
