• Own overall end-to-end user experience — from the big picture (overall user experience and consistency across an entire product) down to specifics of UI layout or third-party integrations.
• Understand how to implement front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to create seamless and engaging user interfaces and solve specific UI challenges
• Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability while ensuring cross-browser and cross-device compatibility and accessibility standards (WCAG AA)
• Collaborate closely with front-end developers to create proof-of-concept demos of interactions and experiences you want to accomplish through the UI
• Collaborate closely with back-end developers to integrate user-facing elements with server-side logic
• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior UX / UI team members, sharing insights and fostering professional growth
