Strong hands-on background building and scaling modern web applications using frameworks such as Angular, or React, with experience owning UI architecture at scale.
Proven experience driving engineering excellence in frontend systems, including performance optimization, accessibility (WCAG), reliability, and cross-browser compatibility.
Demonstrated ability to establish and enforce testing strategies for UI systems (unit, integration, and end-to-end testing) and improve CI/CD pipelines for frontend delivery.
Experience partnering with Product, Design, and Backend teams to translate product vision into scalable and maintainable UI solutions.
Solid understanding of security, privacy, and compliance considerations relevant to web applications (e.g., authentication, authorization, data protection).
Familiarity with leveraging developer productivity tools, including automation and AI-assisted development, to improve code quality, velocity, and consistency.
Strong people leadership skills, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development for frontend engineers.
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments, make informed trade-offs, and lead teams through change in a fast-paced organization.
