You will drive architectural decisions that balance modern front-end capabilities with enterprise-scale system requirements.
What You Will Do:
Own front-end architecture strategy across web (React) and mobile (React Native) platforms, designing solutions that span UI layer through API contracts and data flows.
Design patterns for AI-powered user experiences including conversational interfaces, intelligent recommendations, and adaptive UIs.
Lead complete solution design for customer-facing initiatives, ensuring front-end architecture aligns with broader system design, security, and performance requirements.
Design integration patterns between front-end applications and backend services, APIs, and enterprise systems.
Establish front-end architectural standards, component libraries, and development patterns while maintaining holistic view of end-to-end solution quality.
Participate in cross-functional architecture reviews, representing front-end perspective within broader solution design discussions.
Evaluate and guide technology selection for front-end tooling, frameworks, state management, and performance optimization.
Mentor engineering teams on modern front-end practices within context of complete solution delivery.
What You Need to Succeed:
10+ years software development with 6+ years in architectural leadership roles (subject or people leadership).
