• Define best practices for module federation, deployment independence, versioning, and cross-team integration


• Ensure seamless composition, performance optimization, and runtime stability across micro-frontends

Delivery & Outcomes

• Balance speed and quality through strong engineering practices (testing, observability, performance budgets)


• Partner with Product and Design to translate business goals into scalable frontend solutions

Technical Excellence

• Be hands-on at the architectural level; guide critical technical decisions and reviews


• Drive adoption of modern frontend technologies and patterns


• Proactively address frontend performance, accessibility, security, and reliability

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading platform teams serving multiple product teams


• Strong understanding of design systems and cross-functional collaboration with Design


• Experience in B2B or high-scale consumer products


• Exposure to performance optimization at scale

What Success Looks Like

• A scalable, reliable frontend platform enabling fast, independent team delivery


• High-quality micro-frontend architecture with strong performance and developer experience

What could set you apart:

• Education: B.Sc. in Computer Science or a related field is required.


• Leadership: 5+ years of managerial experience, leading large development groups or overseeing R&D in small/medium companies.


• Development: 5+ years as a developer with full-stack experience (e.g., C#, .NET, Java).


• Technical Expertise: Proficiency with REST APIs, Queues, and Microservices architecture and database experience.


• Architectural Knowledge: Strong understanding of OOP, design patterns, and system development (not just services).


• Engineering Practices: Expertise in code reviews, test coverage, and agile methodologies.
