* Shape architecture: design scalable component systems, state management patterns, and frontend infrastructure that support long-term growth
* Mentor engineers: coach and support teammates through code reviews, design discussions, and problem-solving
* Own complex problems: drive investigation, debugging, and resolution of performance, rendering, and scalability challenges
* Drive execution: translate product and design requirements into clear technical designs and well-scoped Jira tickets
* Collaborate cross-functionally: work closely with product, design, and backend partners to deliver impactful, end-to-end solutions
* Establish best practices: improve standards around code quality, accessibility, performance, and reliability
* Champion improvement: introduce new tools, patterns, or approaches , including AI-enabled workflows , where they add real value

Requirements:

* 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on building and owning modern frontend applications
* Deep expertise in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript, including component architecture, state management, and frontend application design
* Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code or Cursor to accelerate frontend development and improve engineering productivity
* Strong product and design sensibility, with a high bar for UI quality, usability, consistency, and craft
* Proven track record designing frontend architectures that scale across teams, products, and complex user workflows
* Strong knowledge of performance optimization, accessibility, responsive design, and modern frontend best practices
