Job Title: Lead Frontend Engineer (React.js) Experience Required: 10+ Years Location: Nashik / Pune, India

About the Role

RIB Software is looking for a hands‑on Lead Frontend Engineer to shape the architecture and delivery of our cloud‑based SaaS applications for construction collaboration. You will set technical direction, make clear trade‑offs, support teams through implementation, and remain close to the code.

Who You Will Work With

You will join the Collaboration Team, an in‑house design and engineering group connecting office and construction‑site workflows through focused digital tools. You will work closely with product, UX, backend, QA, DevOps, platform teams, and engineering leadership across a geographically distributed organization.

What You Will Do

Lead the architecture, design, development, testing, and delivery of performant, accessible, and maintainable frontend applications. Define clear frontend boundaries, integration contracts, reusable patterns, golden paths, and scalable delivery standards, including micro‑frontends, shared platform capabilities, APIs, backend‑for‑frontend patterns, versioning, and compatibility. Document significant decisions, review frontend ADRs, evaluate trade‑offs, and challenge short‑term solutions that create unnecessary long‑term risk. Drive engineering quality through automated testing, code review, performance, accessibility, observability, secure coding, and production readiness. Use AI‑assisted engineering workflows to improve analysis, prototyping, implementation, refactoring, testing, debugging, and documentation, with proper validation and human review. Translate product and design intent into technically sound, design‑system‑aligned solutions without creating unnecessary central dependencies or blocking product teams. Mentor engineers, raise the quality of technical discussions, and help teams move from broad requirements to clear, deliverable solutions. Support existing applications, lead incremental modernization, and define practical migration and deprecation paths where needed.

What You Bring

• React and TypeScript: 6+ years of hands‑on experience building and operating production web applications with React and TypeScript.
• Architecture: Proven experience designing and evolving frontend architecture, defining boundaries, assessing trade‑offs, and guiding implementation across teams.
• Technical leadership: Demonstrated ability to define standards, review technical decisions, mentor engineers, and influence teams without relying only on formal authority.
• Modern web engineering: Strong understanding of component architecture, state and data management, API integration, performance, accessibility, testing, and maintainability.
• System thinking: Experience balancing team autonomy, shared platform needs, delivery speed, technical debt, and long‑term maintainability.
• AI‑enabled development: Practical experience using AI‑assisted development tools responsibly to improve engineering outcomes rather than replace engineering judgement.
• Communication and ownership: Strong written and verbal communication, clear ownership, and the ability to turn ambiguity into concrete decisions and actions.
• Delivery discipline: Experience with Git/GitHub, CI/CD, cloud environments, Jira, Confluence, and modern engineering workflows.
• Formal education is not required.

Nice to Have

• Experience with micro‑frontends, domain‑driven design, backend‑for‑frontend patterns, or multi‑team SaaS platforms.
• Experience with design systems, Figma‑to‑code workflows, component libraries, cross‑product frontend governance, or user‑facing AI capabilities.
• Hands‑on experience with Testing Library, Jest, Playwright, Cypress, or comparable frontend testing tools.
• Experience with observability, production support, secure development, and frontend platform modernization.

What Success Looks Like

Teams have clear standards, documented decisions, reusable patterns, and practical guidance they can apply independently. Frontend boundaries and integration contracts support team autonomy without weakening platform consistency. Technical risks, exceptions, migrations, and deprecations are visible, justified, and actively managed. AI‑assisted development improves delivery and quality without weakening review, testing, security, or maintainability. Applications are fast, accessible, reliable, and secure, while engineers make better decisions through effective mentorship and technical leadership.
