Technical lead Frontend focused

Technical Leadership & Architecture:

• Own the overall technical direction, architecture, and code quality for the web design system and UI engineering ecosystem.
• Architect and maintain React component libraries, design tokens, theming systems, and atomic design-based UI foundations.
• Lead the development and evolution of SDKs, shared UI modules, and internal tooling, including versioning, bundling, packaging, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Drive adoption of clean architecture, modular design, and scalable component-driven development across frontend teams.
• Oversee deep integration of tokens, components, and workflows into Figma plugins and design tooling, ensuring seamless designer–developer collaboration.
• Ensure consistency, accessibility (WCAG), performance, cross-browser compatibility, and responsive design across all web surfaces.

Execution & Delivery:

• Collaborate with TPMs to ensure technical feasibility, accurate estimations, and disciplined delivery processes.
• Maintain high standards in code review, documentation, and system governance across frontend, mobile, backend, and design verticals.
• Drive the adoption of component documentation platforms such as Storybook, and ensure alignment between design and engineering deliverables.
• Establish and enforce strong testing practices including unit, integration, visual regression, and E2E testing across multiple frameworks.

Quality, Reviews & Risk Management

• Review and approve architecture, PRs, and pipelines to uphold consistency, scalability, and best practices.
• Identify and mitigate risks tied to performance, security, scalability, cross-platform behavior, and maintainability.
• Ensure high code quality standards with tools like TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, and maintain automated workflows via monorepo orchestration solutions.

Mentorship & Collaboration:

• Mentor developers across web, mobile, and design teams; promote engineering excellence, system thinking, and innovation.
• Collaborate closely with product designers to maintain seamless design-to-code workflows and ensure system alignment in Figma.
• Foster a culture of knowledge-sharing, ownership, and continuous improvement.
