Responsibilities
- Frontend architecture: Own and evolve the architectural foundations of our frontend platform — module boundaries, micro-frontend patterns, shared component/design-system infrastructure, and state management strategy.
- Application performance: Diagnose and fix systemic performance issues (bundle size, load time, runtime performance, rendering bottlenecks); establish performance budgets and guardrails that scale across teams.
- Developer experience & tooling: Build and maintain the build systems, local dev environments, CI/CD pipelines, linting/codegen, and internal tooling that other engineers depend on daily.
- Software factory / agentic workflows: Continuously identify the biggest bottleneck in the engineering workflow and build AI-agent-driven automation to remove it, then move to the next one.
- Technical leadership: Set technical direction and standards for the frontend org; mentor senior/staff-track engineers; review architecture proposals from other teams that touch shared frontend infrastructure.
- Cross-functional partnership: Work closely with product engineering teams, design systems, and platform/infra teams to make sure foundational investments actually solve real product-team pain points.
Requirements
- Real world software engineering experience, with a track record operating at Staff level or equivalent scope/impact.
- Deep expertise in modern frontend architecture (React or equivalent component frameworks) combined with strong infrastructure/systems engineering instincts — you're as comfortable in build tooling, CI/CD, and dev environments as you are in application code.
- Demonstrated experience improving frontend application performance at scale (bundle optimization, rendering performance, load-time metrics).
- Experience designing and shipping internal developer tooling or platform infrastructure that measurably improved developer velocity.
- Hands-on experience with AI-agent-driven or LLM-powered engineering workflows (agentic coding tools, autonomous pipelines, AI-assisted codegen/migration) — or a clear point of view on how to build them.
- Strong technical judgment and the ability to drive consensus on ambiguous, cross-cutting architectural decisions without heavy-handed authority.
- Excellent communication, written and spoken — this role requires influencing through documents and proposals as well as in design reviews and cross-team discussions, as much as through code.
Conditions
- Hybrid work in San Francisco Bay Area.
