What will I be doing?

Define and steward the frontend architecture (frameworks, component patterns, state management, routing, SSR/SSG/ISR) across teams.

Establish and evolve an organization-wide frontend baseline (Node LTS policy, package manager posture, canonical scripts, lint/format, TypeScript strictness, testing posture, CI templates) with clear adoption guides.

Design frontend–backend integration (API contracts, versioning, error handling, caching, BFF when appropriate) to ensure reliable and observable interfaces.

Lead web performance strategy (code splitting, asset budgets, image/fonts strategy, hydration, caching/CDN), setting targets and enabling measurement.

Ensure accessibility (WCAG), i18n/l10n, and client-side security (CSP, auth flows, token handling, XSS/CSRF mitigations) are built into the architecture.

Drive developer experience: tooling, monorepos and/or micro-frontends when justified, starter templates, documentation, and examples.

Mentor technical leads/referents, participate in technical reviews, and author ADRs/RFCs that align architecture with business goals.

Collaborate with UX, Product, and Backend to align technical decisions with user and business outcomes.

What skills do I need?

8+ years of professional web development experience and 3+ years in technical leadership or frontend architecture roles.

Expert knowledge of React and TypeScript; hands-on experience with SSR frameworks (e.g., Next.js or similar).

Strong command of build/bundle tooling (e.g., Vite/Webpack), testing (Jest/Vitest, Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress), and quality gates (ESLint/Biome, Prettier).

Demonstrated web performance optimization and observability experience (Core Web Vitals, profiling, RUM).

Solid understanding of frontend security best practices and modern authentication/authorization patterns in web apps.

Experience integrating CI/CD for frontend projects and working with design systems/component libraries.

Excellent communication skills; ability to write clear technical documentation and guide cross-team alignment.

Node.js experience for BFF/SSR and familiarity with edge rendering/CDN strategies.

Experience with micro-frontends, large-scale design systems, and monorepo tooling (Nx/Turborepo).

Exposure to cloud platforms and delivery of frontend at scale (e.g., AWS/GCP, CloudFront/Fastly/Akamai).

Telemetry and monitoring for web applications (e.g., Datadog, Coralogix, Grafana/Prometheus).

English (intermediate to advanced) for documentation and cross-team collaboration.
