• Experience integrating REST APIs into front-end applications, including authentication headers and error handling
• Proficiency with data visualization libraries (Recharts, Chart.js, or equivalent)

• Experience building kiosk-style or display-only web applications
• Prior work in K-12 education or public sector environments

Essential Functions

Under the direction of the Senior Director, Data Services and the Data Platform Team Lead, the Front-End Developer will:

Front-End Development

• Design and build React/TypeScript web applications from defined technical specifications, across both display-only and authenticated use cases
• Implement data visualization components including summaries, trend charts, and gamified recognition displays
• Develop kiosk-style interfaces optimized for continuous, unattended display on screens and embedded devices
• Build authenticated web parts within the SharePoint Online environment using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx)
• Ensure all interfaces are visually clear, performant, and appropriate for K-12 student audiences

API Integration & Authentication

• Integrate front-end applications with RESTful APIs, including proper handling of authentication tokens, error states, and loading behavior
• Implement Azure AD token acquisition flows for student-authenticated features using MSAL
• Coordinate on API contracts and response shapes before building dependent UI components

Quality & Collaboration

• Work directly from defined requirements — this role does not define scope, requirements, or data business rules
• Flag design ambiguities or requirement gaps before building, not after
• Maintain clean, documented, version-controlled front-end code in Azure DevOps
• Participate in sprint planning and review as needed
