What you will do

• Lead the incremental migration of a business-critical, server-side rendered frontend tightly coupled to a monolithic PHP backend into a modern Vue-based frontend architecture

• Establish and evolve frontend standards covering UI consistency, accessibility, testing, performance, and code quality
• Contribute to reusable component libraries and design system integrations to improve consistency and scalability across the product
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to deliver user-centered experiences and align technical solutions with business needs
