Leads end-to-end full-stack application architecture and development, specializing in React, TypeScript, micro-frontends, UI design systems, APIs, accessibility, security, performance, and test automation. Establishes engineering standards, oversees delivery, mentors developers, conducts code reviews, and drives scalability, reliability, CI/CD, monitoring, and AI-assisted development practices. Collaborates with stakeholders on technical solutions, roadmaps, estimation, sprint planning, and risk resolution.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end technical design and development of full-stack applications, with emphasis on the front-end/UI platform and its supporting APIs.
- Own the micro-frontend (MFE) strategy — module boundaries, shared shell, and Webpack & Module Federation setup across teams.
- Define the UI design system — component libraries, design tokens, and how they're sourced from Figma and propagated to code.
- Set standards for state management across React applications and for CSS architecture at scale.
- Own accessibility (ARIA/WCAG) compliance delivery across all UI surfaces.
- Define UI performance budgets and drive performance/error monitoring rollout in production.
- Design, build, and manage robust RESTful APIs (OpenAPI 3.0) and service integrations, including versioning, lifecycle, and governance.
- Set the strategy for contract testing across producing and consuming teams.
- Direct authentication/authorization delivery using OAuth/OIDC and enforce OWASP security standards for both UI and APIs.
- Design and optimize database queries, indexing, and data access strategies (schema/data modelling not required for this role).
- Set the test automation strategy (Playwright) and quality gates for UI/API releases.
- Ensure application scalability, availability, reliability, and security.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, DevOps, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
- Provide technical leadership, code reviews, and mentorship to development team members; run day-to-day delivery of the team including sprint commitments and real-time unblocking.
- Drive engineering best practices including clean code, testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation.
- Champion effective use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) across the SDLC — coding, code review, testing, and documentation — and set adoption practices for the team.
- Identify technical risks, bottlenecks, and architectural improvements and provide effective solutions.
- Participate in effort estimation, sprint planning, technical roadmaps, and delivery planning.
Required Skills
- Expert, hands-on React and TypeScript skills — non-negotiable.
- Proven, hands-on experience with micro-frontend architecture using Webpack and Module Federation — non-negotiable.
- Understanding of software architecture, including scalable, API-based, service-oriented system design.
- Strong hands-on Node.js experience for API and backend services.
- Strong experience designing and developing REST APIs (OpenAPI 3.0) and integrating third-party services; API versioning, security, documentation, and performance best practices.
- Experience with state management patterns (Redux, Context, signals, or equivalent) and CSS architecture at scale.
- Experience working with a UI design system (component libraries, design tokens) and Figma hand-off workflows.
- Working knowledge of ARIA/accessibility (WCAG) standards.
- Solid understanding of OAuth/OIDC and OWASP security practices for both front-end and APIs.
- Experience writing contract tests for APIs.
- Comfortable writing and optimizing SQL queries against relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) — data modelling/schema design not required.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (Playwright or similar), and production deployment practices.
- Practical, hands-on experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) in day-to-day development and across the SDLC.
- Experience mentoring and guiding software engineers.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Python for backend/API development (added advantage, not required) — frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask.
- Working knowledge of AWS (compute, storage, database, networking, security, monitoring services) — preferred, not mandatory.
- Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience implementing UI A/B testing.
- Exposure to error/performance monitoring tooling (DynaTrace RUM, or similar).
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments.
- Prior work in a regulated or enterprise design-system environment.
Experience
8+ years of overall software development experience, with significant experience in front-end/full-stack development, React/TypeScript, micro-frontend architecture, and API design/development.
