Job Description
This position involves developing and maintaining the web interface of our database system. The primary focus will be on creating interactive features for data exploration, enabling users to efficiently select and analyze datasets, and providing comprehensive cluster overview capabilities. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design and implement user-centric solutions that enhance data accessibility and usability.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize the front-end components of the database web interface, including interactive data exploration tools, dynamic data selection mechanisms, and visual cluster analysis modules
- Create complex data presentation systems using JavaScript and HTML, with expertise in implementing tabular data visualization, multi-layered filtering systems, and drill-down navigation features
- Collaborate with backend developers to design API integrations that enable seamless data retrieval from the database, ensuring efficient data processing and transformation for web display
- Maintain and evolve the styling framework across all products, ensuring visual consistency, responsive design, and accessibility standards are met through CSS implementation and UI/UX best practices
- Implement performance optimizations for data-heavy interfaces, including lazy loading techniques, caching strategies, and efficient rendering algorithms
- Design and develop reusable UI components that can be integrated across different database modules while maintaining a cohesive user experience
- Work with data engineers to understand database structures and develop appropriate data visualization solutions that accurately represent complex datasets
- Implement accessibility features and ensure compliance with WCAG standards for all web interface components
- Conduct code reviews and maintain coding standards for front-end deliverables
- Document technical specifications and user interface elements for future development and maintenance
Job Requirements
