  • Strong understanding of browser fundamentals, application performance, testing, observability, and reliability.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals beyond the frontend, including APIs, authentication and authorization, data modeling, and distributed systems concepts.
  • Experience leading technically ambiguous initiatives from architecture through implementation and adoption.
  • Ability to identify common problems across teams and turn them into reusable platform capabilities and paved paths.
  • Ability to influence technical direction across teams while remaining hands on in production code.
  • US Citizen is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building frontend platforms, design systems, application frameworks, or shared developer infrastructure.
  • Experience with progressive web applications, mobile applications, or React Native.
  • Experience with offline first, resilient, kiosk, industrial, or other operationally critical user experiences.
  • Experience with monorepos, shared libraries, package management, and large TypeScript codebases.
  • Experience with enterprise or manufacturing software such as MES, WMS, PLM, or ERP.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a US Secret/TS clearance is preferred.
