The Stack You'll Work With * Frontend: HTMX, Go templates, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript (light), WebSockets/SSE, DOM-first utilities * Backend interfaces: Go services (gRPC/REST), real-time data (WebSockets/SSE), Kafka-backed view models * Observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, Loki; browser RUM * Security: OAuth2/OIDC, MFA, TLS, CSP/CSRF, tamper-evident audit trails Required Qualifications * 5–8+ years building production web UIs with server-side rendering and minimal-JS approaches. * Strong HTML/CSS fundamentals; proficiency with HTMX (or similar: Alpine.js, Datastar, Turbo, Unpoly) and template engines (Go preferred). * Experience consuming Go-backed APIs (REST/gRPC) and real-time transports (WebSockets/SSE). * Proven delivery of performant, accessible UIs in constrained environments (kiosk/tablet, variable networks). * Strong testing discipline and experience with frontend observability. * Security mindset: authN/Z, session hardening, secure-by-default UI design. * Familiarity with modern CSS frameworks and component libraries (Tailwind, Shadcn, Bootstrap, or similar). Preferred Qualifications * Experience with manufacturing, MES/MOM, or SCADA UIs; SPC visualization; barcode/RFID integration. * Comfortable collaborating in UX workflows (Figma, Storybook) and balancing pragmatism with SSR patterns. * Knowledge of print-friendly layouts, PDF/label generation, and internationalization. * Familiarity with CMMC/NIST 800-171 constraints on data/UI handling. * Prior mentorship experience, guiding peers in code quality, design, and delivery practices. What Success Looks Like After 12 Months * Operator-critical screens are SSR-first, achieve <200 ms TTFB on LAN, and remain fully usable under degraded connectivity. * Core workflows (routing, quality, genealogy queries) operate with ≥99.95% front-end availability and clear, resilient error recovery. * Significant reduction in operator input counts and defect escapes due to better UI flows and SPC visibility. * A lightweight SSR/HTMX component library and UI standards are adopted across teams. * Frontend telemetry shows improved task completion time, reduced incidents, and measurable gains in operator efficiency. * Team members consistently recognize you as a strong collaborator, mentor, and reviewer who raises engineering standards.
