- Lead design and development of scalable, maintainable React-based platforms
- Define and drive front-end architecture, standards, and best practices
- Build and govern reusable component libraries, design systems, and design tokens

- Mentor engineers and guide teams across multiple workstreams
- Collaborate with architects, product, and UX leadership on long-term vision
- Ensure performance, security, and scalability of front-end systems
- Mentor engineers and guide teams in adopting platform standards and architectural best practices
- Implement coding best practices and participate in ongoing security training and awareness
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in React and modern front-end ecosystems
- Strong expertise in architecture patterns (Micro Frontends, Monorepo, Modular UI)
- Proven experience designing reusable UI frameworks and design systems
- Deep understanding of state management, data fetching, and caching strategies
- Experience working in large, distributed teams and enterprise environments
- Strong problem-solving mindset with ability to think beyond immediate features
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with platform engineering / front-end platform model
- Familiarity with design token frameworks and theming strategies
- Exposure to cloud-native deployments and edge delivery (CDN-based apps)
- Prior experience in pharmacy, healthcare, or regulated domains (optional)
What Success Looks Like
- A scalable platform that allows 10+ teams to ship independently without breaking the overall application
- Clear architectural patterns that balance autonomy and consistency
- Improved developer velocity through reusable tooling and shared infrastructure
- Stable, performant applications even as the system grows in complexity
Key Competencies
- Systems thinking and architectural design
- Trade-off analysis and decision-making
- Clear communication and technical leadership
- Structured debugging and problem-solving approach
The salary range for this position is $100,000 - $125,000 per year.
