    setting architecture, direction, and coding standards.
  • Develop,
    review, and maintain high‑quality front-end code for Staff MIUI screens.
  • Implement
    and enforce the U.S. Web Design System and State Design System across the

    accessibility validation using automated testing tools, screen readers
    (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), and manual keyboard/tabbing navigation.
  • Lead
    code reviews, design reviews, and mentor front-end developers.
  • Improve
    and maintain front-end CI/CD processes and pipelines.
  • Identify
    architectural gaps and define the front-end technical roadmap.
  • Collaborate
    with Java backend teams to integrate APIs and services (no Java
    development required).
  • Produce
    technical documentation, decision records, and process documentation.
  • Apply
    secure development practices aligned with government security and
    sensitive data handling requirements.

Required Qualifications

  • Proven
    experience as a Front-End Tech Lead or senior-level front-end engineer.
  • Expert
    knowledge of Angular, SASS, HTML.
  • Experience
    implementing a design system; USWDS experience strongly preferred.
  • Formal
    accessibility certification (CPACC, WAS, or equivalent).

    accessibility testing experience using automated tools, screen readers,
    and manual navigation.
  • Strong
    understanding of CI/CD and front-end deployment workflows.
  • Ability
    to work effectively with Java backend teams.
  • Demonstrated
    leadership skills, mentoring ability, and experience driving engineering
    best practices.
  • Excellent
    written and verbal communication skills, including documentation.
  • Understanding
    of government security and sensitive data handling requirements.

Preferred Qualifications
