Position: Senior Frontend Engineer (Tech Lead)

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

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 Type Script, 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

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 Calm App subscription for you and your loved ones, because mental wellness matters.

Thrive within…
