• Design composable, reusable component patterns and author-friendly experiences that let UI, marketing, and content teams build pages quickly and accurately

• Enforce contract-driven UI development, including typed APIs, schema validation, principles of reuseable software, and clean separation between screen components and journey orchestration logic
• Implement operationally observable UI with client-side instrumentation that captures step performance, abandonment signals, and failure modes to support continuous optimization and inform stakeholders
• Write unit, integration, and UI‑automation tests.
• Leverage AI/agentic tools (Figma MCP, Code Connect, v0, Claude Code) to accelerate iteration and automation
• Understand context, domain, technical requirements, and constraints in order to recommend UI technologies
• Work effectively with Apollo GraphQL back-end services
