💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start your day with a stand-up in your cross-functional squad, then dive into building a new microfrontend feature using Next.js and TypeScript.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic application without referencing Iberdrola's clean energy focus or the specific tech stack (Next.js, monorepo).
  • Overlooking the accessibility requirement—failing to mention WCAG 2.2 AA or any accessibility work can be a dealbreaker.
  • Not providing concrete examples of monorepo experience—vague claims about microfrontends without details on tools like Nx or Turborepo.
