APN Consulting, Inc. is a progressive IT staffing and services company offering innovative business solutions to improve client business outcomes. We focus on high impact technology solutions in ServiceNow, Fullstack, Cloud & Data, and AI / ML. Due to our globally expanding service offerings we are seeking top-talent to join our teams and grow with us. Title- UI Developer Location- Charlotte, NC Duration- 12 months contract Core Responsibilities UI and API Leads are responsible for ensuring technical execution aligns with established patterns, frameworks, and guidelines. They are expected to identify gaps in those standards and collaborate with Architects to clarify or expand them. They lead by example, writing production-grade code, reviewing pull requests, and handling complex or ambiguous implementation work. In this capacity, they act as a first line of defense for code quality and are the go-to individuals when incidents or unclear behaviors arise in their domain. As part of their role, leads are required reviewers for all production code changes. When faced with unclear guidance, they are empowered to make context-aware decisions. If the situation exceeds their depth or scope, they are expected to engage with Architects for support. Code quality should be deciding factor in reviews. Architects may at will participate in some of those reviews (especially for new applications), and verify the review quality. In addition to day-to-day engineering, UI and API Leads are responsible for contributing to the Architecture Documentation for new features when those features can be implemented using known approaches, building a traceable knowledge base. Proposed solutions are expected to be reviewed and approved by Architects. Leads also participate in Discovery and Design phases to provide input on technical feasibility and highlight any limitations in proposed solutions. That said, the majority of their time - approximately 80% - should remain focused on implementation and engineering work, with no more than 20% devoted to product and design discussions. UI and API Leads also serve as the primary point of contact for engaging with the Architecture team on reusable components, unknown capabilities, or anticipated technical needs. They are expected to initiate those conversations early, recognizing that upstream architectural solutions require time to develop and validate. Leads are integral to the production deployment process. In instances where a lead cannot be present for a scheduled deployment, it is their responsibility to ensure a designated and qualified representative attends in their stead. The Lead should notify their manager of the conflict for transparency and to help managers in their work. Leads are accountable for addressing and resolving any issues that arise following the deployment of a solution. Leads are expected to prioritize and actively monitor the performance of the solutions under their purview, ensuring optimal functionality and efficiency. In case performance criteria are vague, Leads should collaborate with Engineering Manager and Architect to define improvement points and make a plan how to get there. Our basic requirements for UI developers are: 1. We're looking for recent experience with pure React + Typescript, with best practices from React 18 (like no Classical components or Classical HOCs). Frameworks on top of React (like NextJS) aren't what we're looking for. 2. No frameworks. NextJS and other frameworks "on top” or React are more a minus, than plus. 3. Candidate should have recent experience with Redux and Redux Sagas specifically (not alternatives like Zustand and other state management libraries). It can be ReduxJS Toolkit (also known as RTK), but I will get deep into what it solves and why, and how it works. We're not leveraging RTK too much in our code base. Understanding of what Sagas can do besides sending API requests is a must. 4. Candidate should have recent experience working on long term projects with at least 12-14 months on a single project/app, so that we could have candidates with correct mind set about how requirements evolve with time, and how we can make ourselves ready to adapt to changing requirements. Small product/company with 18 months contract is good fit. 6 months for huge international corporation is not. Long term contract with considerable degree of engineering ownership and freedom for huge international corporation is the best, but you can't have everything, and so `long term with ownership and freedom` is preferred over "huge corporation”. 5. Candidate should have experience with working/creating/maintaining basic components (buttons, dropdowns, layouts, etc) without any 3rd party library such as Chakra, MUI, Antd, or others. They ought to be experienced with "styles-in-JS” pattern using either styled-components, or @emotion/styled. Preferably including advanced patterns like custom themes, theme mapping and wrappers, mobile responsive components, things like these. 6. Experience with latest data routing from react-router-dom is a plus, but not a deal breaker 7. Experience with mono repositories will be a plus (NX workspace is a huge plus), but not a deal breaker 8. When I'm sure they're familiar enough with things listed above, I WILL ask about architecture layering, it's "why” and "how” 9. Practiced ownership over their engineering decisions, and being exposed to the autonomy and decision making outside of "what CSS style to apply here” We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where individuals from all backgrounds feel valued and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives. We strongly encourage applications from candidates of all genders, races, ethnicities, abilities, and experiences to join our team and help us build a culture of belonging.
