- Build React-based chatbot interfaces and complex enterprise forms that handle real-time streaming data.
- Implement interactive graph and tree diagrams to represent agent reasoning paths and data structures.
- Ensure responsive, accessible, and performant user interfaces across devices and browsers.
- Optimize frontend performance for state-heavy applications with complex AI interactions.
2. Middleware & Backend Integration
- Develop and maintain Node.js middleware to manage session enforcement, proxy requests securely, and orchestrate data between UI and backend services.
- Partner with backend software engineers to define data contracts and integrate enterprise-grade authentication flows.
- Consume and integrate complex backend services (e.g., Spring Boot) using RESTful API patterns.
- Implement Server-Sent Events (SSE) or WebSockets for streaming AI responses in real-time.
3. Technical Architecture & Best Practices
- Build scalable, maintainable frontend architectures using modern JavaScript frameworks and design patterns.
- Implement state management solutions (Redux) for complex application states.
- Develop reusable component libraries and maintain design system consistency.
- Integrate frontend build processes and automated UI testing into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
- Package and deploy React/Node.js applications using OCI-compliant containers within orchestrated environments (OpenShift/OCP).
4. Collaboration & Quality Assurance
- Work closely with designers to ensure design fidelity and optimal user experience.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including backend engineers, UX designers, and product owners.
- Implement testing frameworks and maintain high code quality standards.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of development practices.
- Document technical specifications and maintain clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
