Staff/Principal Software Engineer (Frontend)

Define and drive technical strategy for the frontend platform: microfrontend architecture, Server-Driven UI library, design system, and developer experience for internal and product consumers. Lead cross-team architecture so platform capabilities and product features integrate through clear contracts with enough full-stack depth to own end-to-end platform outcomes.

What you'll do

• Define and drive technical strategy for the frontend platform: microfrontend architecture, Server-Driven UI library, design system, and developer experience for internal and product consumers.
• Lead cross-team architecture so platform capabilities and product features integrate through clear contracts (APIs, UI boundaries, release and rollout patterns)—with enough full-stack depth (TypeScript/Node services, integration with backend teams) to own end-to-end platform outcomes.
• Balance short-term velocity with long-term resilience, making smart trade-offs on complexity, cost, and scalability.
• Remain hands-on on highest-leverage platform code, critical design reviews, and precedent-setting implementations.
• Act as a force multiplier by mentoring Staff Engineers and influencing the careers of future Principal-level talent.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership on frontend capacity, standards, and hiring bar.
• Lead frontend alignment with the Architecture Office and drive org-wide frontend technical direction.
• Demonstrate org-level impact across microfrontend boundaries, Server-Driven UI library adoption, and design-system governance.

What you'll need

• Professional experience building and shipping production systems in fast-moving environments.
