Overview Client is looking for an Angular Developer with a strong blend of front-end engineering and UI design experience to help expand and modernize an enterprise Design System. This is not a traditional Angular feature-development role where developers primarily build business applications. Instead, this individual will be responsible for creating, enhancing, and maintaining reusable UI components that other application teams across the organization will consume.
The team is focused on modernizing their Angular ecosystem, upgrading from older Angular versions (currently around Angular 13) to the latest Angular framework versions. As a result, candidates should be comfortable working through Angular migrations, understanding framework changes, and modernizing component architectures. The manager emphasized the need for someone who can operate at the intersection of design and development. They want a developer who can think critically about user experience, component design, and usability, rather than simply implementing detailed specifications provided by others.
