You should have experience with agile methodologies, working experience with at least one high level or scripting language, and experience building scalable and robust user interfaces.

You will own the end-to-end design of major deliverables, working closely with a team of SDEs and Front End Engineers to execute them. This is a high visibility and fast-paced environment where you will make a direct impact on the customer experience and the bottom line of the company.
