• Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, Backend, and Data teams to translate business goals into technical execution
• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Leverage AI and LLM‑powered tools to improve developer productivity, experimentation, and frontend user experiences
• Ensure best practices around testing, observability, performance, and reliability
• Act as a role model for communication, accountability, and engineering excellence

What We Need:

• 5+ years of experience in frontend or full‑stack web development
• 1–2+ years of experience leading engineers (formal or informal leadership)
• Strong expertise in modern frontend development, with hands‑on experience building production‑grade, responsive Angular applications within full‑stack environments
• Good understanding of frontend architecture, performance, and maintainability
• Ability to make technical decisions and align stakeholders early
• Experience working closely with Product and Design partners
• Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
• Curiosity and openness to modern tools and emerging technologies, including AI‑driven frameworks and workflows

Unstoppable Qualities:
