Quadrant Technologies | UI Developer

Job Overview: As a UI Developer, you will focus on building and optimizing front-end interfaces that are responsive, interactive, and highly user-friendly. Your primary tools will be React JS for crafting dynamic web applications, Java for working closely with backend services, and AWS for optimizing cloud infrastructure that powers our web applications. You will be part of a collaborative development team, working closely with designers, UX experts, and back-end engineers to deliver a cohesive and seamless experience for our users. Key Responsibilities: Front-End Development (React JS): Develop clean, scalable, and efficient UI components using React JS. Collaborate with UX/UI designers to translate wireframes and design prototypes into fully functional, responsive user interfaces. Implement React hooks, state management (e.g., Redux, Context API), and other modern React patterns to create rich, interactive experiences. Optimize front-end performance to ensure fast, responsive applications for users across multiple devices. Backend Integration (Java): Work closely with backend developers to integrate front-end components with Java-based APIs and microservices. Ensure that UI components interact seamlessly with server-side logic and databases. Implement data handling and error management to improve overall user experience when interacting with backend systems. Cloud Infrastructure (AWS): Leverage AWS cloud services (e.g., S3, EC2, Lambda) to optimize front-end assets and improve performance. Collaborate with DevOps teams to deploy and manage front-end applications in the cloud. Ensure scalable and cost-effective cloud architecture for front-end resources, especially for high-traffic applications. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside product managers, UX designers, and back-end developers to define project requirements and deliver high-quality features. Participate in design reviews and contribute to discussions on how to enhance user interfaces with new features and enhancements. Conduct code reviews to maintain high standards of quality and consistency across the development team. Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with the latest front-end technologies, frameworks, and industry trends to continually improve development practices and the user experience. Troubleshoot and resolve UI issues quickly and efficiently, providing timely updates to the team. Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and agile ceremonies to ensure smooth project delivery. Must-Have Skills & Experience: React JS: Strong hands-on experience with React JS, including hooks, state management libraries (e.g., Redux, Context API), and functional components. Ability to create reusable, maintainable, and scalable UI components. Experience in optimizing React applications for performance and responsiveness. Java: Proficiency in Java and experience working with Java-based APIs or microservices. Understanding of how front-end interfaces interact with Java back-end services, including RESTful API integration. Ability to handle data flow and error management between front-end and back-end components. AWS: Experience with deploying front-end applications using AWS services like S3, EC2, and Lambda. Familiarity with best practices in cloud computing to manage assets and improve the performance of web applications. Experience with AWS cloud development tools (e.g., AWS Amplify, AWS CloudFormation) is a plus. Nice-to-Have Skills: Knowledge of TypeScript and its integration with React. Familiarity with CI/CD processes and DevOps practices. Experience with front-end testing libraries like Jest, React Testing Library, or Cypress. Experience with UI/UX Design Tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) to collaborate more effectively with design teams. Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). 3+ years of experience as a UI Developer, Front-End Developer, or similar role, with expertise in React JS, Java, and AWS. Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on user-centric design and performance. Excellent collaboration skills and ability to work within an Agile development environment.

Key Takeaways: UI Development Focus: This description emphasizes React JS for the front-end, with a solid understanding of how to connect to Java back-end services and leverage AWS for hosting and deploying applications. Collaboration & Problem Solving: It highlights the collaborative aspect of the role and how the UI Developer works closely with other teams (e.g., back-end engineers, UX/UI designers) to build and optimize the user experience. Scalability & Cloud: The role emphasizes scalability in both the front-end and cloud infrastructure, making it clear that the developer will be expected to work with AWS to improve app performance and deploy to the cloud.
