We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to transform how we build, iterate, evolve, measure, and experiment with our application experiences across web, desktop and mobile platforms. This leader will own the engineering foundations, and technical standards to make our experiences
** fast, resilient, secure, collaborative, measurable, and enjoyable by default**. This is not a traditional frontend management role.

The successful candidate will combine deep modern web engineering experience with strong product and design judgment, and will create the capabilities and engineering culture that allow teams to move rapidly from Idea → Prototype → Experiment → Learning → Scaled Experience

** Responsibilities*
* * Transform the UI to an intelligent distributed node. Leverage our GraphQL API strategy fully by replacing numerous, unoptimized sequential API calls with intelligent client orchestration, normalized caching, and batched queries
* Empower the UI engineers to dictate data shapes. Coach the API teams to deliver optimized payloads, ensuring the frontend is not burdened with expensive runtime data assembly or excessive network waterfalls
* Transition the UI to real-time, event-based updates using GraphQL subscriptions, Web Sockets, and Server-Sent Events (SSE)
* Build resilience into the shared client layer: timeouts, retry with backoff and jitter, circuit breaking, error boundaries and designed degraded states
* Establish strict Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for the UI, explicitly driving improvements in Core Web Vitals. Enforce SLO Budgeting practice at the System design stage to protect these metrics
* Explore Server-Driven UI (SDUI) systems that allow teams to quickly prototype, A/B test, and tweak experiences across different user personas and subscription tiers without waiting on hard client deployment cycles
* Prepare rollout of Generative UI systems. Bind streaming LLM agent outputs directly to design system components via schema-constrained tool calls, dynamically synthesizing bespoke, interactive workflows in real-time
** Minimum Qualifications*
* * BS in Computer Science or related field or equivalent work experience
* 10+ years of progressive software engineering experience, with 4+ years leading high-performing frontend or full-stack engineering teams at scale
* Deep React & GraphQL Expertise - Production track record…
