As our Lead Frontend Engineer, you’ll own the architecture, standards and delivery of all client-facing UIs, driving technical excellence across multiple teams. This fully remote role is much more than “feature work” – you’ll design and evolve our frontend platform (component libraries, design system, CI/CD pipelines), set best practices for performance, security and accessibility, and mentor other engineers to adopt them.
What You’ll Bring
- Deep Frontend Expertise
- 7+ years of professional software development, with at least 3 in a frontend-lead or architect role
- Mastery of React, Next.js and TypeScript (SSR/SSG, dynamic imports, code-splitting)
- Strong grasp of modern styling (CSS Modules, Tailwind, Emotion) and design-system tooling
- Architecture & Standards Leadership
- Proven track record defining and enforcing coding standards, linting/prettier rules, component guidelines and release workflows
- Experience building or scaling a shared component library or micro-frontend architecture
- Expertise in performance optimization (bundle analysis, lazy loading, caching strategies) and accessibility (WCAG 2.x)
- Quality & Reliability Mindset
- Solid experience with end-to-end testing frameworks (Cypress, Playwright)
- Familiarity integrating security best practices (XSS protection, CSP, vulnerability scanning with Snyk/AWS GuardDuty) into the development lifecycle
- Strong understanding of CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, etc.), code review workflows and quality gates
- Technical Mentoring & Collaboration
- Demonstrated ability to coach, mentor and upskill mid- and junior-level engineers
- Excellent communicator—able to translate complex technical decisions into clear guidance for cross-functional partners
What You’ll Own
- Frontend Platform Architecture
- Design, build and evolve our core component library and design system so every product team ships with consistency and speed
- Define folder structures, import conventions, module boundaries and micro-frontend integration points
- Standards, Guidelines & Tooling
- Establish and maintain coding standards, linting rules, commit conventions, branch policies and release checklists
- Integrate performance budgets, accessibility audits and security scans into CI pipelines
- Technical Leadership
- Lead code reviews with an eye for maintainability, scalability and best practices—be the “go-to” for tricky UI challenges
- Mentor engineers through pairing sessions, brown-bags and regular feedback loops
- Cross-Functional Delivery
- Partner with product managers, UX/UI designers and backend teams (Go services) to translate requirements into robust, performant front-end solutions
- Drive adoption of new technologies and patterns, running prototypes/PoCs and sharing learnings broadly
- Metrics & Continuous Improvement
- Define key front-end health metrics (load times, error rates, test coverage) and put monitoring/alerting in place
- Own performance reviews of releases and drive iterative improvements to codebase health
