Job description

• Own front-end architecture strategy across product lines — module boundaries, state management, build strategy, and microfrontend decomposition for 20+ enterprise modules.
• Define and govern React.js / Next.js / TypeScript coding standards and review practices; drive consistency and maintainability across teams.
• Lead modernization and migration of large, long-lived applications (e.g., Next.js migrations) with minimal disruption to users.
• Stay close to the code: make and defend the hard technical trade-offs, and lead by demonstrated craft, not process alone.
• Hold the line on performance — bundle size, build performance, code‑splitting and lazy loading — and on 99.9% production stability through proactive quality gates.
• Own the design-to-deploy lifecycle and release management (versioning, deployment coordination) for front-end deliverables.
• Steward and extend the agentic AI engineering practice — sub‑agents, slash commands, and context‑aware skills wired to Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence via MCP — to sustain and grow the ~30%+ throughput gains already achieved.
• Set guardrails so AI acceleration preserves code quality, security, and auditability.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Technical Direction

• Own front-end architecture strategy across product lines — module boundaries, state management, build strategy, and microfrontend decomposition for 20+ enterprise modules.
• Define and govern React.js / Next.js / TypeScript coding standards and review practices; drive consistency and maintainability across teams.
• Lead modernization and migration of large, long-lived applications (e.g., Next.js migrations) with minimal disruption to users.

Engineering & Delivery

• Stay close to the code: make and defend the hard technical trade-offs, and lead by demonstrated craft, not process alone.
• Hold the line on performance — bundle size, build performance, code‑splitting and lazy loading — and on 99.9% production stability through proactive quality gates.
• Own the design-to-deploy lifecycle and release management (versioning, deployment coordination) for front-end deliverables.

AI-Driven Engineering

• Steward and extend the agentic AI engineering practice — sub‑agents, slash commands, and context‑aware skills wired to Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence via MCP — to sustain and grow the ~30%+ throughput gains already achieved.
• Set guardrails so AI acceleration preserves code quality, security, and auditability.

Leadership & People

• Lead and mentor cross‑functional engineering teams; deliver constructive feedback, run appraisals, and track growth.
• Translate business and product needs into technical roadmaps and align stakeholders.
• Champion knowledge‑sharing and clear coding practices across the engineering organization.

Required Qualifications

• 13+ years of front-end / systems engineering, including substantial hands‑on production experience and senior architecture/leadership roles.
• Deep expertise across React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), and Node.js, with proven enterprise‑scale architecture (microfrontends, component libraries, state and build strategy).
• Demonstrated ownership of build/performance optimization (Webpack/Vite, code‑splitting, lazy loading) and measurable outcomes (e.g., faster rollouts, reduced bundle size, improved consistency).
• Strong grounding in testing and quality (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright) and CI/CD pipelines (Git, Jenkins).
• Proven technical leadership: setting standards, mentoring engineers, and aligning stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s in Engineering / Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred / Nice To Have Skills

• Hands‑on fluency with AI / agentic engineering tooling (Claude Code, MCP, sub‑agents, context engineering) applied to real delivery.
• Experience building and distributing reusable component libraries (TypeScript + Storybook) and customer‑specific modules via private npm repositories.
• Track record modernizing legacy integrations to modern React stacks.
• Experience in enterprise B2B / large‑scale product environments.
• A history of developer‑enablement initiatives (workshops, internal training, mentoring programs).
