Job Title: Lead Frontend Engineer (React.js)
Experience Required: 10+ Years
Location: Nashik / Pune, India

## About the Role

RIB Software is looking for a hands-on Lead Frontend Engineer to shape the architecture and delivery of our cloud-based SaaS applications for construction collaboration. You will set technical direction, make clear trade-offs, support teams through implementation, and remain close to the code.

## Who You Will Work With

You will join the Collaboration Team, an in-house design and engineering group connecting office and construction-site workflows through focused digital tools. You will work closely with product, UX, backend, QA, DevOps, platform teams, and engineering leadership across a geographically distributed organization.

## What You Will Do

• Lead the architecture, design, development, testing, and delivery of performant, accessible, and maintainable frontend applications.

• Define clear frontend boundaries, integration contracts, reusable patterns, golden paths, and scalable delivery standards, including micro-frontends, shared platform capabilities, APIs, backend-for-frontend patterns, versioning, and compatibility.

• Document significant decisions, review frontend ADRs, evaluate trade-offs, and challenge short-term solutions that create unnecessary long-term risk.

• Drive engineering quality through automated testing, code review, performance, accessibility, observability, secure coding, and production readiness.

• Use AI-assisted engineering workflows to improve analysis, prototyping, implementation, refactoring, testing, debugging, and documentation, with proper validation and human review.

• Translate product and design intent into technically sound, design-system-aligned solutions without creating unnecessary central dependencies or blocking product teams.

• Mentor engineers, raise the quality of technical discussions, and help teams move from broad requirements to clear, deliverable solutions.

• Support existing applications, lead incremental modernization, and define practical migration and deprecation paths where needed.

## What You Bring

• **React and TypeScript: ** 6+ years of hands-on experience building and operating production web applications with React and TypeScript.

• **Architecture: ** Proven experience designing and evolving frontend architecture, defining boundaries, assessing trade-offs, and guiding implementation across teams.

• **Technical leadership: ** Demonstrated ability to define standards, review technical decisions, mentor engineers, and influence teams without relying only on formal authority.

• **Modern web engineering: ** Strong understanding of component architecture, state and data management, API integration, performance, accessibility, testing, and maintainability.

• **System thinking: ** Experience balancing team autonomy, shared platform needs, delivery speed, technical debt, and long-term maintainability.

• **AI-enabled development: ** Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools responsibly to improve engineering outcomes rather than replace engineering judgement.

• **Communication and ownership: ** Strong written and verbal communication, clear ownership, and the ability to turn ambiguity into concrete decisions and actions.

• **Delivery discipline: ** Experience with Git/GitHub, CI/CD, cloud environments, Jira, Confluence, and modern engineering workflows.

**Formal education is not required. ** We value demonstrated experience, technical judgement, continuous learning, and evidence of impact over academic credentials.

## Nice to Have

• Experience with micro-frontends, domain-driven design, backend-for-frontend patterns, or multi-team SaaS platforms.

• Experience with design systems, Figma-to-code workflows, component libraries, cross-product frontend governance, or user-facing AI capabilities.

• Hands-on experience with Testing Library, Jest, Playwright, Cypress, or comparable frontend testing tools.

• Experience with observability, production support, secure development, and frontend platform modernization.

## What Success Looks Like

• Teams have clear standards, documented decisions, reusable patterns, and practical guidance they can apply independently.

• Frontend boundaries and integration contracts support team autonomy without weakening platform consistency.

• Technical risks, exceptions, migrations, and deprecations are visible, justified, and actively managed.

• AI-assisted development improves delivery and quality without weakening review, testing, security, or maintainability.

• Applications are fast, accessible, reliable, and secure, while engineers make better decisions through effective mentorship and technical leadership.

## Our Culture

At RIB Software, we value customer orientation, innovation, excellence, secure engineering, and responsible decision-making. We are looking for someone who leads by example, asks the right questions, and helps teams choose the right solution for immediate delivery and the long-term platform.
