• Optimize performance (bundle size, TTI, runtime efficiency) to ensure lightning-fast user experiences.
• Collaborate with backend, DevOps, and product teams to define API contracts and end-to-end delivery plans.
• Establish and enforce standards for testing, CI/CD, accessibility, and maintainable code.
• Proactively identify technical risks and drive resolution, ensuring stability, security, and future scalability.

Qualifications & Skills

• Deep expertise in React, React Native, TypeScript, and modern state-management patterns (e.g., Redux, Zustand, Recoil).
• Proven track record designing micro-frontend / Module Federation architectures in production.
• Strong knowledge of advanced performance-optimization techniques (code-splitting, lazy loading, web vitals, profiler tooling).
• Hands-on experience integrating REST/GraphQL APIs and real-time services (WebSockets, SSE).
• Demonstrated people-leadership skills: mentorship, feedback, hiring, and roadmap influence.
• Solid grasp of automated testing (unit, component, E2E) and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar).
• Ability to translate business & UX requirements into technical deliverables while managing scope and priorities.
• Excellent English communication, able to articulate complex ideas to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Good To Have

• Exposure to native iOS/Android (Swift/Kotlin) for deep platform integrations.
• Experience with server-side rendering (Next.js) or React Server Components.
• Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, CDN edge functions).
