About the Role
The Frontend Platform team creates foundations that enable engineers to build high-quality product experiences quickly, consistently, and with confidence.

- Shape technical direction across the frontend stack through architecture, standards, and durable shared patterns.
- Build and improve both shared frontend foundations and customer-facing product surfaces.
- Partner closely with engineering, design, and product to turn broad needs into simple, scalable solutions with meaningful user and business impact.
- Raise the quality bar across teams through strong technical judgment, clear documentation, and improvements to developer experience, reliability, and engineering practices.
- Help shape effective use of AI and agentic engineering workflows in frontend development to improve leverage, quality, and delivery speed.
Requirements
- Senior frontend engineer with 8+ years of experience.
- Deep fundamentals in JavaScript or TypeScript, modern HTML and CSS.
- Experience building complex web applications with a modern framework such as React.
- Experience leading large, complex frontend or platform initiatives and influencing technical direction beyond your immediate team.
- Strong engineering judgment and ability to balance user experience, product needs, maintainability, operational excellence, and delivery speed.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and can turn loosely defined problem spaces into clear technical direction and execution.
- Strong product and business context, used to influence prioritization and improve customer outcomes.
- Thoughtful and responsible use of AI-enabled tools with a high quality bar, without outsourcing core engineering thinking.
