Role Overview

We are hiring a Lead Frontend Engineer to own the architecture and delivery of large-scale, cloud-native web applications. This is not a UI-only role — you will drive frontend system design, performance engineering, and platform-level decisions across multiple products.

You will be responsible for building highly scalable, modular frontend architectures (Micro Frontends), ensuring low-latency, high-availability user experiences, and partnering with backend, product, and design teams to deliver production-grade SaaS platforms used at scale.

This role requires deep hands-on expertise, strong engineering judgment, and proven experience in building and operating frontend systems in production environments.

🔹 Key Responsibilities

Architecture & System Design

• Own and design frontend architecture for large-scale applications, including Micro Frontend ecosystems (mandatory)
• Define component architecture, state management strategies, and inter-app communication patterns
• Drive modularization, reusability, and long-term maintainability across multiple frontend applications
• Make critical decisions on frameworks, libraries, and architectural patterns

Development & Delivery

• Build and ship production-grade applications using React.js, TypeScript, modern JavaScript (ES6+)
• Enforce clean code practices, strong typing, and scalable folder/code structures
• Implement robust API integrations, handling edge cases, failures, retries, and performance optimization
• Ensure cross-browser compatibility and responsive design at scale

Performance & Scalability

• Optimize applications for low latency, fast load times, and high concurrency
• Implement code splitting, lazy loading, caching strategies, and CDN optimization
• Analyze and improve Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID) and real-user performance metrics

Cloud, DevOps & Release Engineering

• Work in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred) with strong understanding of:
• Hosting architectures
• CDN strategies
• Edge delivery
• Build and manage CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or equivalent)
• Enable automated testing, build optimization, and zero-downtime deployments

Observability & Reliability

• Implement frontend observability:
• Logging (client-side)
• Error tracking (e.g., Sentry)
• Performance monitoring
• Define and track frontend SLAs/SLOs
• Debug and resolve production issues at scale

Collaboration & Product Thinking

• Work closely with UX/UI teams to translate design systems into high-quality, scalable UI components
• Partner with backend teams to define API contracts and data flow strategies
• Contribute to product decisions with engineering trade-offs

Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor engineers and enforce engineering excellence standards
• Conduct code reviews focused on scalability, performance, and maintainability
• Drive a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement

🔹 Technical Skills (STRICT REQUIREMENTS)

Core Frontend

• Expert-level proficiency in:
• React.js (hooks, lifecycle, performance patterns)
• TypeScript (mandatory for large-scale apps)
• Modern JavaScript (ES6+)
• HTML5, CSS3 (including Flexbox, Grid)

Architecture & System Design

• Hands-on experience designing:
• Micro Frontend architectures (MANDATORY — production use only)
• Component libraries / design systems
• State management (Redux / Zustand / Context API or equivalent)
• Strong understanding of:
• Frontend scalability patterns
• Module federation / app composition

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Experience working in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred / AWS acceptable)
• Understanding of:
• CDN (Cloudflare, Akamai, etc.)
• Static vs dynamic hosting architectures
• Edge caching strategies

DevOps & CI/CD

• Experience with:
• CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent)
• Build tools (Webpack, Vite, Babel)
• Version control (Git — advanced workflows)

APIs & Integration

• Strong experience with:
• REST APIs and/or GraphQL
• API error handling, retries, and performance tuning
• Authentication flows (JWT, OAuth)

Observability & Monitoring

• Hands-on experience with:
• Error tracking tools (Sentry, Datadog, etc.)
• Performance monitoring tools
• Logging and debugging production issues

Security & Best Practices

• Understanding of:
• Secure frontend development (XSS, CSRF prevention)
• Dependency management and vulnerability handling

🔹 Experience Requirements (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

• 10+ years of frontend engineering experience
• Proven experience in:
• Building and scaling production web applications
• Owning frontend architecture (not just contributing)
• Working in product/SaaS environments
• Demonstrated experience with:
• Micro Frontends in production (mandatory)
• Handling high-traffic or enterprise-scale applications
• Experience working in cross-functional, global teams

🔹 What Makes a Strong Fit

• Has architected and scaled frontend platforms, not just built screens
• Demonstrates deep understanding of performance optimization and scalability
• Has delivered measurable impact:
• Improved performance
• Reduced load times
• Enhanced user experience at scale
• Strong ownership mindset — drives decisions, not just executes tasks
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-paced product environments
• Ability to balance engineering excellence with product delivery speed

🔹 Implicit Disqualifiers (Used Internally for Screening)

Candidates will be rejected if they:

• Have only worked on UI implementation without architecture ownership
• Lack real Micro Frontend production experience
• Show only tool familiarity without depth
• Have no exposure to production-scale systems
• Primarily worked in support/maintenance roles
