Frontend React/TypeScript Developer

Frontend React/TypeScript Developer

Overview
Client is building a shared UI Framework that serves as the component, theming, state management, and API-access layer for a next-generation Building Automation System interface deployed across both edge/on-premises and cloud environments.
This fixed-term contract engagement is focused on delivering a defined set of committed deliverables within a six-month timeframe. The selected consultant will work as part of an established Agile scrum team alongside permanent engineers to build reusable framework components, implement application features, and support high-quality front-end delivery.

Core Responsibilities
• Build, extend, and harden reusable React and TypeScript components within the shared design system, including theming, design tokens, component states, keyboard interactions, and accessibility behavior.
• Implement assigned UI screens and workflows based on approved UX designs and REST or streaming APIs, including data fetching, caching, and handling error, offline, and degraded connectivity states.
• Ensure consistent functionality across edge/on-premises and cloud-hosted deployments, supported browsers, and screen sizes.
• Create and maintain unit and component tests using Jest/Vitest and React Testing Library, and contribute automated end-to-end test coverage for delivered functionality.
• Diagnose and resolve front-end performance issues related to bundle size, rendering efficiency, large data sets, and memory retention in long-running sessions.
• Take assigned defects from triage through verified resolution, including documentation of root-cause analysis.
• Produce component documentation, usage examples, and technical decision notes to support long-term ownership by the permanent team.
• Participate fully in Agile scrum ceremonies including backlog refinement, estimation, daily standups, sprint reviews, demos, and retrospectives.

Essential Qualifications, Skills, and Technologies
• 4+ years of experience building production web front ends, with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• Deep expertise in TypeScript and React, including hooks, component composition, state management, rendering behavior, and modern HTML and CSS for responsive layouts and theming.
• Demonstrated experience building or extending a reusable component library or design system consumed by multiple applications.
• Strong debugging and performance analysis skills using browser developer tools to profile rendering performance, analyze network behavior, and isolate memory growth issues.
• Clear understanding of the separation between application code, UI frameworks, and REST APIs, with the ability to maintain clean architectural boundaries.
• Experience working within CI/CD environments using small pull requests, automated testing, short-lived or trunk-based branching strategies, and routine code review practices.
• Ability to work across both Windows and Linux development environments.
• Strong Agile delivery discipline, including reliable estimation, visibility into progress, and proactive communication of blockers.

Preferred Skills or Experience
• Experience implementing accessibility solutions aligned to WCAG 2.1 AA standards, including ARIA patterns and keyboard-only operation.
• Familiarity with Node.js/BFF or .NET/C# development sufficient to troubleshoot issues across API boundaries.
• Angular development experience.
• Experience building real-time or high-frequency data user interfaces using technologies such as WebSocket or SSE, including virtualized tables and time-series charting.
• Experience developing, testing, and publishing Chrome and Microsoft Edge browser extensions.
• Experience within building automation, industrial control systems, IoT, SCADA, or other operational technology environments.

Work Details
• Fixed-term contract engagement of six months.
• Work is performed using Client repositories, issue tracking systems, and approved equipment and network access methods.
• Development environment is expected to be operational with a first reviewed pull request merged during the first sprint.
• Contributors are expected to begin supporting team sprint commitments starting in the second sprint.
• Definition of done includes code review and merge completion, passing automated tests in CI, accessibility and browser-support validation, documentation updates, and demonstration of completed work.
• All work product and intellectual property created during the engagement is assigned to Client, subject to signed confidentiality and intellectual property agreements.
• The engagement is for the named individual only. Subcontracting, substitution, or delegation of work requires written approval.
• Successful completion of applicable background check and customer security requirements may be required.
