• Experience defining frontend architecture and scalable patterns across large applications or multiple product teams.
• Experience building reusable frontend infrastructure, shared libraries, component systems, or application frameworks.
• Strong understanding of browser fundamentals, application performance, testing, observability, and reliability.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals beyond the frontend, including APIs, authentication and authorization, data modeling, and distributed systems concepts.
• Experience leading technically ambiguous initiatives from architecture through implementation and adoption.
• Ability to identify common problems across teams and turn them into reusable platform capabilities and paved paths.
• Ability to influence technical direction across teams while remaining hands on in production code.
• US Citizen is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building frontend platforms, design systems, application frameworks, or shared developer infrastructure.

• Experience with offline first, resilient, kiosk, industrial, or other operationally critical user experiences.
• Experience with monorepos, shared libraries, package management, and large TypeScript codebases.
• Experience with enterprise or manufacturing software such as MES, WMS, PLM, or ERP.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a US Secret/TS clearance is preferred.
