Job Description:
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Front End Architect with
expertise in React (with TypeScript) to join our team to help build
the future of work. We'll be leaning on your experience in building
amazing user experience on the front-end.
Successful candidates will be working closely with cross-functional
engineering teams across multiple divisions to help them deliver
awesome software that our customers love. You will have a crucial
role in designing, implementing, and maintaining a robust and
user-friendly frontend architecture, with a focus on component
library development, user experience, accessibility, security, and
performance.
You'll work closely with people across different offices, mainly
with the design lead on the west coast timezone. You may also be
required to travel to our HQ in Redwood City and our office in
Toronto. We are open for candidates on the west coast.
Your Job Responsibilities
What you will be doing:
Own the architecture and big-picture thinking across the platform
in relation to front-end development.
Collaborate closely with the design head to ensure seamless user
experiences and translate design concepts into intuitive and
visually appealing frontend interfaces.
Working closely with the design team, own the reusable and scalable
component library to promote consistency and efficiency in frontend
development across the enterprise application.
Advocate for and implement accessibility best practices to ensure
that the frontend application is usable by individuals with
disabilities, adhering to accessibility standards and
guidelines.
Implement robust security measures to protect sensitive data,
prevent security vulnerabilities, and ensure compliance with
security standards and regulations.
Optimize frontend performance by identifying and addressing
bottlenecks, reducing load times, and improving overall application
speed
Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and thought leadership to
frontend developers, and influence the team at large to adopt best
practices and continually think about great user experience and
high code quality.
Collaborate with QA teams to define testing strategies, participate
in code reviews, and ensure high-quality frontend deliverables
through automated testing, linting, and other quality assurance
practices.
Identify and implement tools, frameworks, and processes to enhance
developer productivity, streamline workflows, and enable efficient
collaboration within the frontend development team and with other
stakeholders.
Establish and enforce coding standards, best practices, and
conventions to maintain a clean, maintainable, and scalable
codebase.
Your Skill Set
What makes you a great fit for our team:
You are user-focused - we solve our customer's problems together;
everybody has a say in planning, design & execution.
You're a great communicator. This role will require leading
discussions with multiple teams from different functions of the
business. Presenting ideas and answering questions in open
discussion is no problem for you.
5+ years of React experience with a strong understanding of its
internals as well as a thorough knowledge of the wider javascript
ecosystem.
10+ years of overall experience with at least 5+ years of
experience deploying and maintaining applications on AWS. Although
this role is mostly front-end, a good understanding of the entire
stack is a must.
You love identifying new technologies, patterns, and techniques and
planning out how we can roll them out across teams to improve
productivity, code quality, and user experience across every
division.
An affinity for profiling and analyzing code to identify areas for
improvement as well as a solid understanding of browser
internals.
Experience building an in-house component library with a good
understanding of modular CSS and bundlers.
Comprehensive understanding of all aspects of automated testing and
CI/CD including challenges specific to the frontend domain.
Strong knowledge and understanding of functional programming
patterns.
Excited about working in a fast-paced startup environment.
We'd especially love to hear from you if:
You have proven excellence in writing readable and efficient
TypeScript code.
You have a good track record of project leadership and mentorship
of software engineers.
You have experience working with micro-frontends and associated
technologies like federated modules and single-spa.
Our job titles may span more than one career level. The starting
base pay for this role is between $180,000 - $240,000. The actual
base pay is dependent upon many factors, such as: training,
transferable skills, work experience, business needs and market
demands. The base pay range is subject to change and may be

equity and benefits.
