Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will be a hands-on, keyboard-active developer, collaborating with cross-functional teams (Product, UX, Backend Engineering) to deliver compliant, user-friendly, and high-performance interfaces for Licensees and internal stakeholders. This role is ideal for a seasoned developer with deep expertise in front-end technologies, ready to contribute to both legacy systems and a forward-looking architectural transformation in a fast-paced, regulated environment.
