Staff Developer - Frontend Foundations

Hi, I'm Hunter, the Development Manager for the Frontend Foundations team at Jane. The thing I care most about is simple: building an environment where the people around me can do the best work of their careers.

For our team, that means enabling Janers with the platforms and tools that allow them to focus on solving the problems unique to their domains. We own the systems and standards that every product team at Jane builds on: Module Federation, build tooling, our Burrito design system across web and React Native, observability, and the long migration away from a decade of legacy patterns. When we do our job well, product teams move faster and ultimately help more clinics care for their patients. That's the direct line from our work to Jane's mission.

Outside of work, you'll find me dabbling in a series of eclectic interests: permaculture, pottery, music, gaming. I'm drawn to the spaces where everything overlaps and informs everything else, all things can be conjoined!

We're at a pivotal moment at Jane. Our legacy frontend architecture has served us well, but we're actively replacing it with something modern, scalable, and AI-native. Expanding our design system to support mobile through react native is an active and exciting investment as we continue to build out the systems and tooling to make our solutions second nature for developers. With the departure of a senior technical anchor, this role isn't just about getting stuff done, it's foundational. You won't inherit a quiet system, or one with every answer figured out. You'll be shaping the future of how frontend engineering happens at Jane.

The team you'd be joining is curious, connected, collaborative, and genuinely excited about AI-native development. We move fast, care about quality, and believe platform work is some of the most meaningful engineering you can do. If you're energized by deep technical execution, like leaving things better than you found them, and want to make every developer at Jane's life a little easier, I'd love to chat.

• Own and evolve our Module Federation architecture, strengthening topology, registry governance, and the technical decisions product teams depend on. Set a clear, documented direction others can confidently follow and build on.

• Lead our frontend modernization strategy, defining and executing the deprecation path for legacy patterns, building codemod tooling, and partnering with teams to migrate safely and sustainably.

• Act as a technical bridge across value stream teams, influencing architecture decisions that go beyond FF's immediate domain.

• Grow our React Native foundation alongside the web platform, helping establish the patterns, tooling, and standards that make mobile a first-class part of how we build at Jane.

• Elevate frontend observability across both web and mobile, instrumenting and diagnosing complex system behavior so performance, reliability, and developer experience continuously improve.

• Contribute to a 6-12 month technical strategy for the team's domains, taking responsibility for the team's successful execution against it, and proactively managing risks and timelines so we ship with confidence.

• Raise the technical ceiling for the team through architecture reviews, well-written ADRs, high-quality code reviews, and hands-on pairing that makes everyone around you better.

• Actively coach and elevate the people around you through great code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing. You view team success as your success.

• Champion AI-native development across the team and beyond: establish best practices, create pathways from experiments to standard practice, and help other teams understand what genuine AI acceleration looks like versus noise.

• Significant professional experience as a frontend or platform engineer, including multiple years at a Senior level and a track record of leading large, complex initiatives across teams.

• Deep experience with Module Federation, frontend build systems (webpack, rspack), CI tooling, and JavaScript ecosystem standards in large codebases.

• Hands-on experience with React Native in a production environment, ideally including shared design system or tooling work across web and mobile.

• Proven experience modernizing legacy systems, including navigating unfamiliar code, defining migration strategies, and building automation or codemod tooling at scale.

• Demonstrated architectural leadership through design docs, ADRs, and cross-team technical influence that actually moved the needle.

• Strong AI fluency, not just in your own workflow but in building tools and workflows that help others. You've shipped AI-powered tooling and you know the difference between genuine acceleration and noise.

• Comfortable operating as a technical co-leader alongside a DM: contributing to roadmaps, managing technical risk, and communicating clearly to varied audiences including leadership.

• Familiarity with frontend observability tooling (Sentry, Datadog or similar) and a habit of using data to drive technical decisions.

If you don’t meet every single qualification but are excited about this role, we’d still love to hear from you.
