Provide architectural direction for scalable, maintainable, secure, and high-performing web applications

Drive technical decisions across multiple services, repositories, and shared components

Translate business and product requirements into clear technical designs, execution plans, and delivery milestones

Identify architectural gaps, technical debt, and platform limitations, and propose pragmatic solutions

Partner with senior engineers and architects to define patterns for reusable components, service integration, API contracts, observability, and deployment practices

Full-Stack Engineering & Delivery

Build and guide development of modern web experiences using technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, REST/GraphQL APIs, cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines

Own critical technical deliverables from design through implementation, validation, release, and post-production monitoring

Ensure solutions are production-ready, with strong attention to scalability, performance, reliability, accessibility, localization, security, and maintainability

Lead technical breakdown of large initiatives into well-scoped epics, stories, dependencies, and implementation plans

Engineering Quality, Testing & Reliability

Raise the engineering quality bar by embedding testability, automation, and observability into the development lifecycle





Define expectations for unit, integration, functional, E2E, and production validation strategies

Champion quality gates across CI/CD, including automated testing, code coverage, smoke testing, monitoring, and release readiness

Drive improvements in web performance, including Core Web Vitals, page load time, bundle optimization, caching strategies, and API efficiency

Ensure critical customer journeys are measurable, observable, and resilient in production

Improve developer productivity by simplifying local development, debugging, testing, deployment, and operational workflows

Build or influence reusable frameworks, shared libraries, tooling, and documentation that help multiple engineers move faster with confidence

Partner with Product, XD, Program, Content, Marketing, DevOps, Security, Data/Analytics, and partner engineering teams to deliver end-to-end business outcomes

Communicate technical trade-offs clearly to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders

Help leadership make informed decisions by presenting options, risks, mitigation plans, and recommended paths forward

Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through design reviews, code reviews, technical discussions, and delivery execution

Raise the technical bar by modeling robust ownership, judgment, engineering discipline, and customer-focused thinking

Influence engineering culture by promoting high standards in architecture, quality, documentation, reliability, and operational readiness

10+ years of software engineering experience, with strong hands-on expertise in full-stack web application development

- Deep experience with modern frontend technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, or similar frameworks
- Strong backend development experience with Node.js, Java, Python, or similar technologies




- Proven ability to lead complex technical initiatives across multiple engineers, teams, services, or repositories
- Strong understanding of web performance, accessibility, security, scalability, reliability, and observability
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, production deployments, and release validation
- Strong system design skills and ability to make sound architectural trade-offs
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction without direct authority
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical topics to engineering and business stakeholders

Experience building or modernizing large-scale web platforms, commerce platforms, marketing technology platforms, or customer-facing digital experiences

Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

Experience with Content Management Systems, experimentation platforms, personalization, analytics instrumentation, or commerce checkout flows

Experience with micro-frontends, monorepos, shared component libraries, design systems, or platform engineering

Experience driving quality improvements through E2E automation, performance testing, monitoring, and production readiness practices

Exposure to AI-assisted engineering, developer productivity tooling, or agentic engineering workflows is a plus
