What you’ll do

  • Lead front-end architecture and development using React, React Native, and TypeScript.
  • Collaborate with backend teams (Java, Spring Boot) to design clean APIs and efficient data flows.
  • Bridge UI/UX design and backend engineering, ensuring consistency, performance, and maintainability.
  • Mentor both front-end and full-stack engineers, promoting modern development practices and code quality.
  • Advocate for front-end excellence – performance optimization, accessibility, responsive design, and design system consistency.
  • Contribute to full-stack architecture discussions, ensuring end-to-end technical alignment.
  • Support DevOps and CI/CD best practices for seamless deployments.
  • Stay current with emerging web and mobile technologies and identify opportunities for adoption.
  • All other duties as assigned.

What you’ll bring

  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, MIS, CIS, or a related field.
  • Experience: 8+ years of professional experience in front-end engineering (React, React Native, TypeScript, JavaScript), along with backend development using Java (Spring Boot or similar frameworks).
  • Strong understanding of full-stack development and backend systems (Java, REST APIs, databases).
  • Proven expertise in building scalable, responsive, and high-performance UI components using ReactJS (React Native experience highly preferred).
  • Familiarity with backend technologies (Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, AWS) and architectural best practices.
  • Deep expertise in UI architecture, responsive design, accessibility, and performance optimization.
  • Experience working with design systems and component libraries such as Material UI or Ant Design.
  • Hands-on experience with mobile development using React Native for iOS and Android (PWAs also a plus).
  • Deep understanding of cloud architecture best practices, especially within AWS.
  • Lead architecture and design for complex systems focused on scalability, performance, and security.
  • Proficient in working with relational databases like PostgreSQL and/or SQL Server.
  • Experience preparing and evaluating build/buy proposals and RFPs.
  • Ability to define and drive technical vision for projects in alignment with strategic business goals.
  • Mentor and support engineering teams to foster technical excellence and continuous improvement across front-end and full-stack domains.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver innovative, high-impact solutions.
  • Stay up to date with emerging technologies and assess their value for potential adoption.
  • Promote and enforce best practices for software engineering including code quality, test automation, and CI/CD processes.
  • Lead efforts to troubleshoot and resolve critical technical issues, minimizing business disruption.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date technical documentation for systems and processes.
