Frontend Architect/Engineer (Senior IC)

AI overview

Join a high-performance team to design and build scalable frontend architecture using modern technologies while influencing frontend standards and mentoring engineers.

Own and Build the Frontend

  • Design, implement, and evolve frontend architecture across applications built with Angular, Next.js, Node.js, and Tailwind CSS.

  • Write production code daily, focusing on scalable patterns rather than one-off solutions.

  • Establish pragmatic conventions for components, state management, routing, data fetching, and performance.

  • Drive a mobile-first, responsive approach that delivers a high-quality experience across devices.

  • Make smart framework and tooling decisions, balancing speed of delivery with long-term maintainability.

  • Work closely with designers to translate product ideas into reusable, composable UI components.

Raise the Bar Through Code

  • Set frontend standards and best practices by example—through code reviews, RFCs, and shared patterns.

  • Help define testing strategies (unit, integration, E2E) that protect quality without slowing teams down.

  • Instrument frontend behavior using tools like FullStory to inform product and UX decisions.

Lead Without Managing

  • Act as the go-to engineer for complex frontend and UI challenges.

  • Mentor other engineers through pairing, reviews, and technical guidance.

  • Participate in architecture discussions and help teams make clear, informed tradeoffs.

Operate with Ownership & Focus

  • Work across multiple initiatives at once, prioritizing the work that delivers the most value.

  • Partner closely with product, design, and backend engineers to ship meaningful features.

  • Balance short-term wins with long-term health—knowing when to refactor and when to move fast.

  • Take full ownership of outcomes, not just tickets.

Must-Haves

  • 8+ years of frontend engineering experience, including senior-level IC work with architectural responsibility.

  • Strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript and frameworks such as Angular and React/Next.js.

  • Experience with modern CSS approaches, including Tailwind CSS or similar utility-first frameworks.

  • A track record of building and scaling frontend systems used by multiple teams.

  • Strong instincts around performance, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility.

  • Experience establishing and monitoring frontend performance SLAs.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience in startup or high-growth environments.

  • Experience working in monorepos or shared frontend codebases.

  • A bias toward simple solutions that scale.

What Success Looks Like

  • You’re shipping meaningful frontend improvements regularly—not just planning them.

  • Teams move faster because shared patterns and components reduce friction.

  • The UI feels cohesive, intentional, and scalable as the product grows.

  • Frontend decisions are clear, documented, and easy for others to follow.

  • You’re seen as a trusted technical owner who consistently prioritizes the right work.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary, including an annual discretionary bonus.

  • Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, mental health support).

  • Paid time off and company-paid holidays.

  • 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match.
