About the role
- We value thoughtful innovation, secure engineering, shared ownership, and continuous learning.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development of cross-platform web and mobile user interfaces using React latest stable version and TypeScript from a single shared codebase.
- Own complex front-end features from technical design through implementation, testing, release, production support, and continuous improvement.
- Lead the build-out and ongoing governance of reusable UI components aligned to the Digital Platform shared design system, including component variants, accessibility patterns, responsive behaviour, and design-token usage.
- Drive reuse across public HOOPP.com and authenticated member experiences, reducing duplication and helping mature a common front-end experience layer.
- Partner with Architecture and Design to translate reference architecture, UX direction, content models, and design-system standards into scalable implementation patterns.
- Establish and enforce utility-first styling practices using Tailwind-style patterns, adhering to centralized design tokens for colour, typography, spacing, theming, and layout consistency.
- Lead integration with the DISP Orchestration API / Backend-for-Frontend pattern, ensuring clean separation between the front-end experience layer and backend orchestration services.
- Lead localization and internationalization implementation, including bilingual English/French content and reusable component patterns.
- Maintain high code quality in the repository in Azure DevOps through pull requests, code reviews, branching practices, CI/CD discipline, and defect prevention.
- Act as a front-end technical lead within agile squads, helping teams break down complex work, resolve dependencies, manage technical risk, and make pragmatic delivery decisions.
Requirements
- Deep hands-on experience with React, React ecosystem patterns, TypeScript, component-based architecture, and design-system-driven delivery.
- Experience consuming REST APIs through a Backend-for-Frontend or orchestration-layer pattern, including error handling, loading states, security considerations, and API contract alignment.
- Strong practical knowledge of accessibility standards and evidence-based WCAG 2.2 implementation across forms, navigation, content, interactions, responsive layouts, and component libraries.
- 7+ years of professional front-end development experience with demonstrated experience developing or modernizing high-profile public web domains and/or large-scale authenticated digital products (such as member portals, customer portals, claims portals, banking platforms, benefits platforms, or government service portals)
- Strong experience integrating with a headless CMS, including content models, page composition, reusable content blocks, authoring flexibility, and CMS-driven layouts.
- Working knowledge of Azure-hosted front ends, Azure DevOps, Azure App Service, enterprise cloud environments, network/security constraints, and production support practices.
- Strong architectural judgement, including the ability to evaluate trade-offs, reduce complexity, manage technical debt, and establish implementation patterns that other developers can follow.
- Strong collaboration skills, demonstrated by building bridges and fostering relationships with IT teams, business stakeholders, vendors, and external partners to propel programs and projects to success.
- Analytical mindset and innovative thinking to devise effective and efficient solutions to challenges, including decision-making under ambiguity.
- Ability to translate technical specifications, risks, and trade-offs into business benefits and help cross-functional teams understand how front-end architecture drives value for the organization.
- Proven experience acting as a technical lead on programs, projects, product teams, or complex front-end workstreams, with accountability for technical outcomes and delivery quality.
