- Own the end-to-end user experience of visualization workflows, including performance, accessibility, and responsiveness.
- Contribute to UI architecture and design systems that support a wide range of visualization and dashboarding use cases.
- Partner with backend teams to define APIs and data contracts optimized for real-time, interactive visual analytics.
What We Look For

- Expertise in React (or similar modern frameworks such as Vue or Angular).
- Strong background in data visualization libraries or frameworks (e.g., D3.js, Vega/Vega-Lite, ECharts, Plotly).
- Deep understanding of UX principles, accessibility, and responsive design for data-heavy interfaces.
- Experience in architecting and shipping large-scale, high-performance visualization systems.
- Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and deliver impactful user-facing features.
