Your Job

As a Frontend Architect, you will drive the design and architecture of scalable, high-performance frontend applications, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and Microsoft Power Platform to improve user experience and support digital transformation.

What You Will Do

• Frontend Architecture: Design and implement scalable, secure, high-performance frontend applications using modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js). Ensure cross-browser compatibility, responsiveness, UI/UX Architecture, and accessibility (WCAG).
• Solution Design & Development: Architect component-based, modular UI solutions with reusable design systems and patterns. Implement robust state management (Redux, Context API, RxJS), frontend architecture patterns, state management, application lifecycle, modularization, and dependency management and integrate with backend APIs and microservices.
• Automation & DevOps: Develop and maintain frontend build and deployment pipelines (Webpack, Vite, npm/yarn). Implement CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, and automate testing using Jest, Cypress, or Playwright.
• Power Platform Development: Build custom business applications using Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI. Develop intelligent, user-facing solutions using AI Builder and Azure services.
• PCF Controls Development: Design and develop custom PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls to enhance the functionality and user experience of PowerApps applications.
• Security & Compliance: Ensure frontend solutions adhere to security best practices (XSS/CSRF prevention, secure authentication flows) and regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.), utilizing services like Azure Entra ID for identity management.
• Architecture Governance: Establish and enforce frontend architecture principles, coding standards, design-system governance, technology guardrails, and review processes. Lead architecture reviews, document key decisions, manage technical debt and exceptions, and ensure solutions remain aligned with enterprise architecture, security, compliance, accessibility, and lifecycle standards. Architects should use Architecture Decision Records to document the rationale behind key architectural decisions.
• Performance & Optimization: Continuously monitor and optimize application performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, lazy loading, rendering efficiency) using tools like Lighthouse, Azure Monitor, and Application Insights.
• Collaboration & Documentation: Work with global teams to align architecture with business goals and maintain technical documentation, UI style guides, and flowcharts.
• Mentorship: Train and mentor junior frontend developers on modern development practices and design system standards.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with business stakeholders and designers to understand requirements and translate them into intuitive, technical UI solutions.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Experience with API Management, Azure CDN, Azure Storage, or similar Azure services.
• Strong understanding of Domain-Driven Design, microservices, event-driven architecture, and enterprise integration patterns.
• Experience defining and applying architecture governance, including technical standards, design and code review gates, decision records, exception management, risk controls, technical-debt oversight, and alignment with enterprise architecture.
• Strong skills in state management, component reusability, design systems, and performance optimization practices.
• Drive CI CD adoption automation and cloud native frontend development initiatives
• Evaluate emerging technologies build POCs and resolve complex production issues
• Conduct system assessments and performance reviews to identify areas for improvement and optimization.
