Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with the U.S. Web Design System or another mature design system, including extending accessible, reusable components.
• Experience incrementally modernizing legacy interfaces within.NET, ASP.NET MVC, or Razor-based applications.
• Experience building data-intensive interfaces, such as configurable data-entry workflows, complex data tables, dashboards, or reporting tools.
• Experience integrating interfaces with federated identity, single sign-on, multifactor authentication, or role-based access.
• Experience improving frontend performance and reliability through monitoring, analytics, error tracking, browser compatibility testing, and automated deployment pipelines.
