    • Define the UI design system - component libraries, design tokens, and how they''re sourced from Figma and propagated to code.
    • Set standards for state management across React applications (web and mobile) and for CSS architecture at scale.
    • Own accessibility (ARIA) compliance delivery across all portal surfaces.
    • Define UI performance budgets and drive performance/error monitoring rollout in production.

    • Set the A/B testing approach and the containerization & deployment pattern for UI services.
    • Define the test automation strategy (Playwright) and quality gates for UI releases.
    • Run day-to-day delivery of the offshore senior developer team: sprint commitments, code review, real-time unblocking, and hands-on work on critical or time-sensitive pieces.
    • Report delivery status, risks, and blockers to engineering leadership.

    Must-Have Qualifications

    • 8+ years in front-end engineering, with 3+ years as a tech lead owning end-to-end delivery of large-scale web applications (not a pure design/review architect role).
    • Expert, architecture-level command of React (web and mobile) and Node.js/TypeScript.
    • Proven design experience with Webpack, Module Federation, and micro-frontend architecture in production at scale.
    • Strong grounding in state management patterns (Redux, Context, signals, or equivalent) and when to use each.
    • Experience architecting a UI design system (component libraries, design tokens) and working with design tooling (Figma) hand-off workflows.
    • Deep knowledge of ARIA/accessibility standards (WCAG) and how to enforce them at the platform level.
    • Strong CSS architecture experience (design-system-driven styling at scale, not just component-level CSS).
    • Proven ability to define and enforce UI performance measurement and optimization strategy.
    • Solid understanding of OAuth/OIDC and OWASP web security practices for front-end applications.
    • Experience architecting containerized UI deployment pipelines.
    • Financial-services or regulated-industry experience preferred given security/compliance stakes.
    • Strong stakeholder communication; able to directly manage day-to-day delivery of an offshore team (standups, unblocking, sprint accountability).
    • Proven track record of shipping large-scale UI platforms on committed timelines, including hands-on troubleshooting under delivery pressure.

    Nice-to-Have Qualifications

    • Experience designing UI A/B testing frameworks.
    • Familiarity with Playwright or comparable UI test automation frameworks at an architectural level.
    • Experience with error-monitoring platforms (Sentry, Datadog RUM, or similar) at a design level.
    • Exposure to mobile-specific micro-frontend or module-federation patterns.
    • Relevant certifications or contributions to open-source design systems.
