• Partner with product, design, and backend engineering to establish long-term technical roadmaps and ensure seamless integration across systems.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to senior and junior engineers, enabling them to grow into stronger contributors and leaders.
• Drive engineering best practices across teams, including testing strategies, CI/CD, performance optimization, and accessibility standards.
• Anticipate and solve systemic issues by introducing scalable solutions that raise the bar for reliability and maintainability.
• Translate ambiguous product and business requirements into clear technical strategies and execution plans.
• Lead design and code reviews, ensuring technical excellence and high-quality delivery across the organization.
• Represent frontend engineering in cross-team architecture discussions and influence decisions that span multiple product areas.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and introduce emerging technologies when they create meaningful business or user impact.
• Contribute hands-on to key projects while creating leverage by enabling others to succeed.

What you bring:

• 10+ years of professional experience building modern web applications with TypeScript, React, and associated workflows (e.g., Redux, Flux, Recoil).
• Demonstrated experience in leading large-scale frontend systems, including architecture, performance, accessibility, and security.
• Proven track record of mentoring and developing engineers into technical leaders.
• Deep expertise in design systems, reusable component libraries, and cross-application UI frameworks.
• Experience collaborating with product managers, UX designers, and executives to set strategic technical direction.
• Strong background in testing methodologies, continuous integration, and delivery pipelines.
• Experience with cloud-native environments (Google Cloud, AWS, or equivalent) and modern deployment practices.
• Bonus: Experience with graph-based UIs (e.g., react-flow, litegraph.js) and data visualization libraries.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — capable of influencing across functions and levels.
• Passion for driving innovation, tackling ambiguity, and delivering products that delight customers at scale.
