We are looking for a highly experienced Frontend Architecture Lead to drive the design, scalability, and performance of modern frontend applications for enterprise-grade digital commerce platforms. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep frontend engineering expertise with architectural thinking, technical leadership, and a passion for building exceptional user experiences at scale.

As a key technology leader, you will define frontend architecture standards, guide engineering teams, and shape the future of scalable web platforms using modern technologies such as ReactJS, JavaScript, Next.js, HTML, and advanced frontend rendering strategies. You will work closely with product, engineering, design, and business stakeholders to architect high-performance applications that are reliable, maintainable, and optimized for customer engagement.

The role also involves mentoring frontend engineers, establishing engineering best practices, supporting pre-sales discussions, driving Proof of Concepts (POCs), and introducing AI-enabled development workflows to improve productivity and delivery quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the architectural design and development of scalable, high-performance frontend applications.
• Define frontend architecture standards including component structures, rendering strategies, state management patterns, and API integration approaches.
• Build and optimize modern ReactJS and JavaScript-based applications for enterprise-scale digital experiences.
• Drive implementation of SSR, ISR, streaming, caching, and performance optimization strategies.
• Ensure frontend applications meet accessibility, scalability, maintainability, and performance standards.
• Conduct architecture reviews, code reviews, and enforce engineering governance across teams.
• Collaborate with backend, product, UX, and platform teams to deliver seamless digital solutions.
• Develop reusable UI components, design systems, and scalable frontend libraries.
• Optimize Core Web Vitals, page speed, rendering performance, and user experience across high-traffic environments.
• Lead adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices including code generation, testing automation, and developer productivity workflows.
• Mentor frontend engineers and technical leads through technical guidance and architectural leadership.
• Support pre-sales engineering discussions by translating business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Drive technical estimations, solution scoping, and architecture planning for new initiatives.
• Lead POCs and prototype development to validate technical approaches and de-risk implementations.
• Contribute to frontend CI/CD practices, deployment workflows, and engineering process improvements.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Strong experience building large-scale frontend applications using ReactJS, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Proven expertise in frontend architecture, scalable UI systems, and component-driven development.
• Strong understanding of SSR, ISR, streaming, caching, and frontend rendering strategies.
• Experience integrating frontend applications with REST and GraphQL APIs.
• Strong understanding of performance optimization, Core Web Vitals, and responsive user experiences.
• Hands-on experience building reusable component libraries and design systems.
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP is an advantage.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and frontend DevOps practices.
• Strong technical leadership, mentoring, and stakeholder management abilities.
• Experience working in fast-paced, startup or product-driven environments.
• Ability to balance technical scalability with business priorities and delivery timelines.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Self-driven mindset with a strong passion for frontend innovation and engineering excellence.

Why Join

• Opportunity to architect and scale modern enterprise-grade frontend platforms.
• High-impact leadership role with ownership over frontend strategy and engineering standards.
• Exposure to cutting-edge frontend technologies, AI-assisted development, and digital commerce ecosystems.
• Collaborative environment with strong focus on innovation, scalability, and user experience.
• Opportunity to mentor teams, influence engineering culture, and drive technical excellence.
• Fast-paced environment offering significant learning, ownership, and growth opportunities.
