What you will do
- Lead the incremental migration of a business-critical, server-side rendered frontend tightly coupled to a monolithic PHP backend into a modern Vue-based frontend architecture
- Define the migration strategy, establish clear boundaries and contracts between the Vue frontend and backend services, and own technical direction and delivery risks
- Establish and evolve frontend standards covering UI consistency, accessibility, testing, performance, and code quality
- Contribute to reusable component libraries and design system integrations to improve consistency and scalability across the product
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to deliver user-centered experiences and align technical solutions with business needs
- Use AI effectively in your daily engineering work to investigate existing code, accelerate delivery, solve problems, and continuously improve outcomes

- Solid understanding of testing practices, particularly Unit and E2E testing
