📋 Description

• Define and steward the frontend architecture (frameworks, component patterns, state management, routing, SSR/SSG/ISR) across teams. • Establish and evolve an organization-wide frontend baseline (Node LTS policy, package manager posture, canonical scripts, lint/format, TypeScript strictness, testing posture, CI templates) with clear adoption guides. • Design frontend–backend integration (API contracts, versioning, error handling, caching, BFF when appropriate) to ensure reliable and observable interfaces. • Lead web performance strategy (code splitting, asset budgets, image/fonts strategy, hydration, caching/CDN), setting targets and enabling measurement. • Ensure accessibility (WCAG), i18n/l10n, and client-side security (CSP, auth flows, token handling, XSS/CSRF mitigations) are built into the architecture. • Drive developer experience: tooling, monorepos and/or micro-frontends when justified, starter templates, documentation, and examples. • Mentor technical leads/referents, participate in technical reviews, and author ADRs/RFCs that align architecture with business goals. • Collaborate with UX, Product, and Backend to align technical decisions with user and business outcomes.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of professional web development experience and 3+ years in technical leadership or frontend architecture roles. • Expert knowledge of React and TypeScript; hands-on experience with SSR frameworks (e.g., Next.js or similar). • Strong command of build/bundle tooling (e.g., Vite/Webpack), testing (Jest/Vitest, Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress), and quality gates (ESLint/Biome, Prettier). • Demonstrated web performance optimization and observability experience (Core Web Vitals, profiling, RUM). • Solid understanding of frontend security best practices and modern authentication/authorization patterns in web apps. • Experience integrating CI/CD for frontend projects and working with design systems/component libraries. • Excellent communication skills; ability to write clear technical documentation and guide cross-team alignment. • Node.js experience for BFF/SSR and familiarity with edge rendering/CDN strategies. • Experience with micro-frontends, large-scale design systems, and monorepo tooling (Nx/Turborepo). • Exposure to cloud platforms and delivery of frontend at scale (e.g., AWS/GCP, CloudFront/Fastly/Akamai). • Telemetry and monitoring for web applications (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, Grafana/Prometheus). • English and Spanish (intermediate to advanced) for documentation and cross-team collaboration.
