The role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, cross-functional influence, and mentorship. It is well suited to a senior frontend engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and modernizing large-scale web applications.
Accountabilities:
- Lead the technical roadmap and frontend architecture for complex advertising web applications, balancing immediate product delivery with long-term scalability and extensibility.
- Design, build, and maintain high-quality React interfaces supporting campaign creation, management, reporting, and optimization.
- Define and evolve reusable components, state-management patterns, and frontend abstractions that improve maintainability and enable faster product development.
- Partner with backend engineers on API and data contracts to build robust, observable, reliable, and cost-efficient systems.
- Collaborate with frontend technical leads and engineering peers to establish alignment around frontend standards, architecture, and best practices.
- Champion application performance, reliability, and observability through metrics, logging, tracing, monitoring, and operational readiness.
- Drive modernization initiatives, technical debt reduction, migrations, and refactoring of legacy frontend systems.
- Incorporate security-by-design principles into frontend architecture and help lead responses to significant security or reliability issues affecting critical user experiences.
- Lead cross-functional and cross-team technical initiatives, aligning stakeholders and driving execution across product and engineering teams.
- Partner closely with designers to create intuitive, high-quality experiences for complex advertiser workflows.
- Mentor and sponsor engineers through L5 level, contribute to onboarding and team practices, and help resolve cross-team execution challenges.
- Help establish effective practices for AI-assisted development tools across coding, testing, refactoring, and engineering workflows.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of experience building modern web applications, with substantial ownership of complex, user-facing products.
- Deep expertise in Node.js and React, including hooks, state management, performance optimization, and development within large codebases.
- Strong frontend architecture skills spanning modularization, shared components, routing, data fetching, error handling, and scalable UI patterns.
- Experience designing and integrating REST and/or GraphQL APIs while working closely with backend engineering teams.
- Proven ability to lead large, ambiguous, multi-stakeholder technical initiatives from design and planning through rollout and ongoing operations.
- Demonstrated impact on engineering productivity and code quality through abstractions, tooling, testing, CI improvements, and development practices.
- Experience with web application monitoring and observability platforms such as Datadog or similar technologies.
- Comfortable using AI-assisted developer tools in day-to-day engineering work and interested in helping teams scale their effective use.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills when working with engineers, product managers, designers, data scientists, and other stakeholders.
- Experience building large-scale, data-intensive user interfaces such as analytics dashboards, editors, or complex workflows is preferred.
- Hands-on experience with GraphQL at scale, including schemas, client-side patterns, and performance considerations, is preferred.
- Experience with automated testing frameworks such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright is an advantage.
- Strong knowledge of frontend performance and reliability practices, including bundle optimization, code splitting, and resiliency patterns.
- Experience leading frontend modernization initiatives, framework upgrades, design system adoption, or legacy-system deprecation is preferred.
- Familiarity with design tools such as Figma and experience mentoring L3–L5 engineers are advantageous.
