About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer – Frontend (UI) to take technical
ownership of our application portal. You will drive architectural decisions,
set engineering standards, and bridge the gap between business requirements and
technical execution. This is a high -impact role for someone who thrives at the
intersection of deep technical expertise and cross -functional leadership —
someone who makes the engineers around them better and leaves codebases better
than they found them.

Key Responsibilities

• Own
  the technical direction and architecture of the frontend application
  portal, making decisions that balance scalability, performance, and
  long -term maintainability.
  
• Lead
  the design and delivery of complex, large -scale UI features in close
  collaboration with architects, product managers, and UX designers.
  
• Define
  and enforce frontend engineering standards, patterns, and best practices
  across the team.
  
• Drive
  technical discovery — evaluate and recommend technologies, frameworks, and
  tooling to keep the platform ahead of industry trends.
  
• Mentor
  and coach mid -level and junior engineers through code reviews, design
  discussions, and pairing sessions.
  
• Actively
  contribute to long -term platform architecture, identifying technical debt
  early and proposing pragmatic, scalable solutions.
  
• Serve
  as a key escalation point for complex technical challenges and cross -team
  dependencies.
  
• Collaborate
  with Product and UX to translate ambiguous requirements into clear,
  well -scoped technical solutions.
  

Skills & Experience
Core — What You'll Use Day -to -Day

• 6–9
  years of frontend development with strong proficiency in React
  and TypeScript, including hooks, context, and component architecture
  at scale.
  
• Solid
  experience building SSR or full -stack React applications, ideally
  with React Router v7 (or prior Remix / framework -mode experience
  that maps naturally to it).
  
• Comfort
  working with Express.js in a server -rendered context — middleware,
  routing, API integration, and a clear understanding of where the
  server/client boundary sits.
  
• Hands -on
  experience with Storybook for component development, visual
  testing, and maintaining a shared UI component library.
  
• Strong
  grasp of unit and integration testing — knowing what to test, at
  what layer, and how to keep test suites fast, reliable, and meaningful.
  
• Solid Git workflow experience in a CI/CD environment — branching
  strategies, PR reviews, and working in teams where deployment is frequent
  and automated.
  

Architecture & Ownership

• Proven
  ability to design and evolve large -scale frontend systems — making
  decisions that hold up as teams and codebases grow.
  
• Ability
  to reason about and clearly communicate trade -offs around performance,
  scalability, security, and developer experience — to both engineers
  and non -technical stakeholders.
  
• Experience
  identifying and managing technical debt without letting it derail
  delivery.
  
• Demonstrated
  track record of designing future -proof, maintainable systems in
  fast -moving product environments.
  

Collaboration & Leadership

• Comfortable leading within an Agile team — facilitating design reviews, sprint
  planning, and retrospectives — without needing a title to have influence.
  
• Strong mentoring instincts — helping engineers grow through code reviews
  and design conversations, not just directives.
  
• Ability
  to work closely with Product and UX to find the best technical path
  for a given business need.
  
• Strong collaboration and influence skills across engineering, product, and
  design functions.
  

Nice to Have

• Familiarity
  with legacy MV* frameworks (Backbone, Marionette) — useful context
  for understanding or migrating older parts of a codebase.
  
• Experience
  with design systems or internal component library development.
  
• Exposure
  to micro -frontend patterns or monorepo tooling (Turborepo, Nx).
  
• Background
  in enterprise or B2B SaaS applications where reliability, audit ability, and performance at scale matter.
  
• Familiarity
  with SAP Fiori / UI5 or enterprise UI patterns (a plus, not a
  requirement).
  

What Sets You Apart
You don't just build features — you shape how features get built. You ask the
right questions early, catch architectural issues before they become production
problems, and take pride in leaving things better than you found them. You lead
with both technical depth and empathy, and you know that the best engineers
make everyone around them better.
