• Optimize for large-tablet (iPad-class) viewports

UX Enablement

• Partner closely with UX Designers to bring concepts to life
• Enable fast executive feedback loops through experiential prototypes

Systems & Infrastructure

• Build and maintain reusable component libraries
• Own Netlify/Vercel prototype deployments and preview environments
• Ensure clean, modular code and smooth handoff to engineering

Required Skills

• Strong experience with React or Next.js
• Proficiency in HTML/CSS for pixel-accurate UX builds
• Experience deploying via Netlify and/or Vercel
• Ability to rapidly hard-code realistic front-end behavior (mock data, simulated flows)
• Strong UX judgment and attention to detail

Nice to Have

• Headless Shopify or custom storefront experience
• Familiarity with design systems and component libraries
• Accessibility and performance best practices
• Experience working directly with executive stakeholders
