Key Responsibilities: • Build substantial, interactive features inside an existing enterprise product, without disrupting the workflows they sit within.

• Implement data visualisations (line charts, comparison tables, range indicators) where the visual encoding carries real meaning and small inaccuracies mislead users.

• Build filtering and comparison controls that update complex views in real time.

• Implement every state the feature can be in: loading, error, empty, and the cases where there is insufficient data to show a comparison at all. These matter as much as the primary path.

• Build and extend Ruby on Rails APIs, consume APIs built by the architecture team, and push back early when a contract does not serve the interface well.

• Work closely with design, matching intent precisely and raising discrepancies rather than approximating.

• Make sure features load asynchronously and never block or slow the workflows they are embedded in.

• Build for accessibility and cross-browser consistency.

• Instrument features so the team can measure how they are actually used.

• Write tests that cover behaviour, including the degraded cases.

Required Skills: • 6+ years building production web applications, with significant frontend ownership and hands-on backend development.

• Strong backend experience with Ruby on Rails: building and modifying APIs, data models, and services, not only consuming them.

• Strong proficiency with a modern JavaScript framework (React, Angular, or Vue) and solid JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals, including a real understanding of rendering and state management, not just framework APIs.

• Experience building data-dense interfaces: charts, tables, dashboards, or comparison views where accuracy of presentation matters.

• Experience working inside large existing codebases: reading unfamiliar code, following established conventions, and avoiding regressions.

• Demonstrable care for edge cases, empty states, and error handling, backed by automated tests (e.g., RSpec and frontend testing frameworks).

• Strong collaboration with designers and product managers; asks clarifying questions before building.

• Working proficiency with AI coding tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development, debugging, and test writing, with the judgment to review and validate AI-generated code before it ships.
