Data Society; Falls Church (VA); Hybrid; USD 130,000 - 175,000; Full time

Job summary

Data Society Group seeks an onshore Senior Front-End Engineer to lead React UI architecture and deliver a production-ready frontend. You’ll guide a pod of offshore engineers, own the component library, and ensure design-system alignment from Figma through WCAG-compliant implementations.

You will implement RBAC with SSO integration, connect to backend REST APIs via Azure APIM, and drive CI/CD security gating with Veracode.

Qualifications

• 6–8+ years of front-end development experience, with at least 4 years focused in React (functional components, hooks, context API, performance optimization).
• Demonstrable experience leading or directing offshore front-end engineering teams.
• Proven experience working from Figma wireframes and collaborating closely with UX/UI designers.
• Experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) for pair programming, code generation, architecture documentation, and code review (AI-assisted development is standard on this engagement).
• Familiarity with RBAC patterns and SSO integration (Azure Entra ID / OAuth 2.0 preferred).
• Experience with automated UI testing frameworks such as Storybook, Playwright, or similar.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the proven ability to lead sprint demos, conduct code reviews with offshore teams, and articulate technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Architecture & Leadership: Lead React frontend architecture, defining component structure, state management patterns, and design system implementation across all process flow UIs.
• Direct and oversee a pod of offshore front-end engineers by assigning work, conducting code reviews, and ensuring production-ready output.
• Component Systems & UI Development: Build and own the shared component library used across all role-based process flow UIs.
• Collaborate with the Lead UX/Product Designer to translate Figma wireframes into high-fidelity, accessible React implementations meeting WCAG 2.2 A standards.
• API Integration & Access Control: Implement data reads and write operations from React to the backend REST API layer (via Azure APIM), ensuring the frontend does not call the database or ERP system directly.
• Implement RBAC in the UI aligned with SSO federation via Azure Entra ID.
• Quality, Pipeline & Security Compliance: Own CI/CD pipeline compliance for frontend code, ensuring all commits pass Veracode SAST + SCA security scanning prior to merging.
• Resolve and triage frontend defects during SIT, UAT, and post-launch hypercare within agreed SLA windows.
• Stakeholder Demos & Delivery: Lead bi-weekly sprint demos with stakeholders, ensuring all frontend work is demo-ready on schedule.
