• Frontend architectural standards (components, state, performance)

• Architectural governance (RFCs, reviews, documentation)

• Application-level performance and scalability strategy

• Secure design and auditability patterns within core flows

What You’ll Do

• Lead architecture discussions and technical decisions, defining and enforcing guardrails, standards, and reference patterns across teams.

• Mentor senior engineers and unblock complex technical challenges.

• Break large initiatives into technically coherent, scalable solutions.

• Balance short-term delivery with long-term system health.

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

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