About the Role

• You will design, build, and maintain modern React-based front-end applications that power internal and customer-facing enterprise experiences. You will own the full lifecycle of UI engineering from component architecture and state management through build and deployment automation within a CI/CD-driven environment.
• You bring strong opinions on front-end architecture, move fast without sacrificing quality, and actively use AI-assisted tooling to improve delivery speed and consistency. You are comfortable leading technical decisions within a Scrum team and mentoring engineers around you.

Responsibilities

• Architect and own scalable React applications using modern patterns, hooks, and reusable component design.
• Build responsive, accessible, and performant user interfaces that integrate with internal and third-party APIs.
• Define and evolve front-end architecture, including routing, state management, form handling, and UI patterns.
• Partner closely with UX/design and backend teams to translate requirements into high-quality user experiences.
• Establish and enforce front-end engineering standards for testing, code quality, accessibility, and maintainability.
• Automate repetitive engineering tasks, including component scaffolding, test generation, API client generation, and documentation, using AI-assisted tooling such as Claude, Copilot, or similar tools.
• Optimize application performance through code splitting, lazy loading, memoization, caching, and efficient state management.
• Own build and deployment pipelines for front-end applications using modern CI/CD workflows.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex front-end production issues, including performance, analytics, error tracking, and session diagnostics.
• Mentor junior engineers and participate actively in code reviews and sprint ceremonies.

Required Skills

• 5+ years of professional front-end engineering experience with strong React expertise.
• Deep experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript, React hooks, component composition, and state management patterns.
• Strong understanding of state management and async flows using tools such as Redux Toolkit, React Query, Zustand, or similar tools.
• Proven experience integrating REST APIs and handling authentication flows such as OAuth2 / OpenID Connect in front-end applications.
• Strong knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, responsive design, and accessibility standards.
• Experience with front-end testing frameworks such as Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, or Playwright.
• Familiarity with modern build tools and package ecosystems such as Vite, Webpack, npm, or pnpm.
• Git-based workflows in a fast-paced CI/CD environment.
• Daily use of AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar tools as part of the workflow.

Nice to Have

• Experience with enterprise design systems or shared component libraries.
• Knowledge of micro-frontend architecture or module federation patterns.
• Experience with Next.js or other React-based SSR frameworks.
• Hands-on familiarity with observability tools such as Sentry, Datadog RUM, or similar tools.
• Experience with Storybook or front-end documentation tooling.
• Experience with Harness, GitHub Actions, or other deployment automation platforms.
• Azure DevOps experience.

Environment

• Enterprise tech stack.
• Front-end applications are built with React and TypeScript and deployed through automated CI/CD pipelines.
• All code goes through automated quality scans and testing before merge.
• We actively invest in AI tooling and expect engineers to help shape how we adopt it responsibly and at speed.
