In this role, you’ll drive the design, architecture, and development of platform-level tools, libraries, documentation, and frontend patterns that power our web ecosystem.

- Execute the architecture and development of reusable frontend platform tools, SDKs, and shared libraries.
- Design and maintain systems that improve developer experience across CI/CD, testing, and deployment pipelines.
- Define standards and best practices for performance, accessibility, and design system adoption.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to drive adoption and alignment of core platform capabilities.
- Tackle complex technical and organizational challenges that span teams and products.
- Mentor engineers across the org, championing engineering excellence and knowledge-sharing.
What you’ll need:
- Deep expertise in frontend web engineering (3+ years), with a strong focus on scalable web platforms.
- Proven experience designing and building reusable SDKs, UI libraries, and platform APIs.
- Expertise in modern frontend frameworks (React preferred), build tooling, and testing frameworks.
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, web performance optimization, and accessibility standards.
- Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills.
- Experience with mobile-web and responsive web frameworks.
Nice to have:
