Full Job Description

Description

About the Role:

You will lead the development and evolution of our frontend platform, driving both team execution and the broader technical direction of the UI across the product. This role combines hands-on engineering with team leadership and org-wide influence.
You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality, performant, and accessible user experiences at scale, while partnering with UI leadership to define and execute initiatives spanning design systems, application performance, and frontend architecture. You care deeply about UI quality and craftsmanship, holding a high bar for usability, performance, and visual polish, and bring strong opinions on what makes a great user experience.

What You’ll Work On:

Leading a team of frontend engineers, owning delivery, execution quality, and technical direction
Owning complex frontend systems and features end-to-end, from design through long-term production health
Driving org-wide initiatives across design systems, application performance, and frontend technical standards
Defining and evolving frontend architecture to support scalability, reliability, and rapid product iteration
Establishing and enforcing high standards for code quality, testing, and maintainability
Identifying and resolving systemic performance and reliability issues in production
Building and scaling interactive, data-heavy applications and AI-driven workflows
Partnering with design, backend, and AI/ML teams to shape product direction and user experience
Guiding long-term UI technical strategy and key architectural decisions across teams

Level Expectations:

Operate as a technical leader for frontend across the team and contribute at the org level
Own outcomes, not just implementation, including system health, performance, and developer productivity
Drive large, ambiguous initiatives with cross-team dependencies and no predefined solutions
Set direction for frontend architecture and influence decisions beyond your immediate team
Build and maintain scalable systems that other engineers and teams depend on
Raise the bar for engineering quality, performance, and accessibility across the organization
Mentor and develop engineers, including setting standards and holding the team accountable
Proactively identify gaps in the frontend platform and lead efforts to address them

Must-have:

Expertise in React and TypeScript, including architectural decision-making at scale
Proven experience leading frontend teams or acting as a technical lead on complex systems
Track record of owning and delivering large-scale, production-critical frontend systems
Experience driving cross-team or org-level initiatives (e.g., design systems, platform work, performance improvements)
Strong understanding of frontend architecture, performance tradeoffs, and scalability challenges
Experience integrating complex systems via GraphQL and/or REST APIs
Exceptional debugging skills across browser, performance, and production environments
Demonstrated ownership of codebase health, system reliability, and engineering standards
Ability to operate independently and drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical decisions across teams

Nice to have:

Experience with Next.js or similar frameworks in production at scale
Experience working in monorepos and large shared codebases
Experience building AI-powered or data-intensive products
Familiarity with frontend observability and performance tooling
Strong product sense and ability to balance technical and user experience tradeoffs

What We Offer:

Enjoy comprehensive paid time off that allows you to have an enhanced work-life balance
Excellent medical, dental, and vision options
401(k) matching, life insurance, commuter benefits, and parental leave plans
Complimentary CalmApp subscription for you and your loved ones, because mental wellness matters.
Thrive within our inclusive community and seize ongoing professional development opportunities to elevate your career.
