📋 Description

• Own front-end platform and architecture across Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, and Astro, including micro-frontend composition strategies, monorepo, shared design system, cross-MFE state management, and MFE shell orchestrator. • Define the opinionated path for building and deploying front-end applications — CI/CD, observability, accessibility, performance budgets, and contract testing — across both the marketplace and internal tools channels. • Own the full ordering experience from discovery, personalization, and menu browsing through cart, checkout, and payment, consuming headless backend APIs through BFF layers. • Drive AI-native front-end development, including design-to-code pipelines (Figma, Claude Design, v0), AI-assisted development against organizational context, and AI-powered product experiences such as personalized recommendations, intelligent search, and conversational ordering. • Ensure front ends are machine-readable and API-first to serve AI agents alongside human users, with awareness of emerging commerce protocols (MCP, Universal Commerce Protocol). • Own the design system as infrastructure — design tokens, theming, cross-platform consistency — packaged and documented for both human engineers and AI code generation workflows. • Lead and develop three engineering teams, scaling the organization as it grows; recruit and develop engineers and managers, including from minimal staffing. • Hold a high technical bar: review front-end system designs, challenge architectural decisions, and identify performance issues from technical signals.

🎯 Requirements

• Demonstrated experience standing up front-end engineering organizations, not just inheriting them • Deep fluency in Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, and modern build tooling (e.g., Turborepo, Rspack), with hands-on architectural credibility • Experience leading multi-team web applications with micro-frontend architectures; strong opinions on composition strategies per journey stage and cross-MFE concerns (CSS isolation, state sharing, auth propagation, SSR vs. CSR, contract testing) • Ownership of a transactional customer journey — discovery, cart, checkout, payment — including BFF architectures and multiple customer types or ordering modes on a single platform • Practical AI fluency across front-end work: design-to-code workflows, AI-assisted testing, AI-powered product features, and the infrastructure that makes AI effective (component library docs, API contracts, repository context) • Design system experience — tokens, theming, cross-platform consistency, documentation for human and AI consumers • Expertise in performance and observability: Core Web Vitals, real user monitoring, and performance budgets enforced in CI • Experience leading engineering managers, developing teams, and making hard performance calls • Ability to travel up to 5 days per quarter for Together Weeks, team gatherings and other events, when applicable.

🏖️ Benefits

• Market competitive salary • Stock options • 12 paid holidays • Flexible PTO • 401K with ezCater match • Health/dental/FSA • Long-term disability insurance • Mental health resources • Family planning resources • Employee meal program
