We are seeking a Principal UI/UX Software Engineer with over 25 years of experience to serve as both a visionary architect and a hands‑on developer for our next‑generation products. This role requires a master practitioner who can not only set the strategic direction for user experience but also lead the technical implementation using leading‑edge software development technologies. The ideal candidate has a deep history of translating complex business requirements into seamless, accessible, and performant user interfaces.

• Technical architecture and development: Lead the design and development of highly scalable, modular, and performant UI frameworks, design systems, and component libraries. Serve as the technical authority on the most complex front‑end engineering challenges.
• Strategic leadership: Define the overarching UI/UX technical strategy in alignment with product and business objectives. Provide vision and direction on innovative solutions that enhance operations and provide a competitive advantage.
• Emerging technology integration: Evaluate and integrate bleeding‑edge technologies, such as AI‑driven UI, generative design, and advanced data visualization, into the user experience and front‑end architecture.
• Cross‑functional partnership: Collaborate deeply with product management, backend engineers, and other stakeholders to translate user needs and business goals into high‑quality, technically feasible products.
• User advocacy: Champion user‑centered design principles and usability standards throughout the development lifecycle. Translate design concepts into functional, high‑quality prototypes and user interfaces.
• Optimization and performance: Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs and optimize applications for maximum speed, scalability, and accessibility.

• Experience: 25+ years of progressive, hands‑on experience as a UI/UX developer and software engineer, with a strong portfolio showcasing technical leadership and impact on complex digital products.
• Technical mastery: Expert‑level proficiency in modern front‑end technologies, including:
• Frameworks: Deep, hands‑on expertise with at least one major framework (e.g., React, Angular, Vue), as well as experience building and scaling component libraries and design systems.
• Architecture: Extensive experience with modern UI architectures such as Micro‑Frontends, modular UI design, and Serverless Frontends.
• Tooling: Proficiency with modern build pipelines and tools (e.g., Webpack, NPM, Babel), testing frameworks, and version control (Git).
• Strategic thinking: Demonstrated ability to translate organizational strategy and business requirements into scalable, maintainable, and performant technical solutions.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts and architectural decisions to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Methodology: Proven experience in successfully delivering projects in an Agile environment and advocating for best practices throughout the SDLC.
• Preferred Qualifications:
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, HCI, or a related field.
• Deep expertise in the MERN stack (Mongo
  
  DB, Express.js, React, Node.js).
• Experience with advanced state management (e.g., Redux, NgRx) and back‑end integration with RESTful APIs and microservices.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Dev Ops practices, and deploying applications to cloud environments like Amazon AWS.
