As a senior frontend engineer, you will own key technical decisions while establishing a strong foundation for a scalable and performance-focused frontend.

• Architect and develop a new web frontend from the ground up using SvelteKit and Tailwind CSS.
• Define appropriate rendering strategies across SSR, SSG, ISR, and edge computing.
• Establish and maintain performance targets, including LCP below 2.0 seconds, INP below 200ms, and CLS below 0.1 based on real-user data.
• Build and maintain a reusable Svelte component library and scalable design system.
• Translate product requirements and design specifications into clean, composable, responsive, and accessible components.
• Own frontend SEO fundamentals, including semantic HTML, metadata, structured data, sitemaps, and canonicalization.
• Establish frontend testing standards using Vitest for unit testing and Playwright for end-to-end testing.
• Define development tooling and developer experience practices, including linting, formatting, type checking, pre-commit hooks, and CI quality gates.
• Lead code reviews and continuously improve frontend engineering quality and standards.
• Drive technical planning, architecture decisions, ADRs, and broader frontend discussions.
• Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs and contribute to API contract design when relevant.
• Support CI/CD workflows and deployments across AWS infrastructure.
• Monitor, analyze, and optimize frontend performance using tools such as Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and real-user monitoring.
• Incorporate agentic AI development tools into day-to-day engineering workflows to improve delivery speed and effectiveness.
