Job Summary

Description

As the UI Frontend Architect, you will serve as the primary technical authority for our web ecosystem, bridging the gap between high-level Enterprise Architecture and team-level execution. Your mission is to define a scalable, framework-agnostic vision that ensures consistency, security, and elite performance across all digital products. You will act as the strategic gatekeeper for new enhancements, ensuring every implementation aligns with our long-term architectural roadmap and Cloud-native infrastructure.

Core Responsibilities:

•

Architectural Governance : Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture to align frontend strategies with global infrastructure. Define the high-level roadmap for the frontend stack, including Cloud-native deployment strategies and serverless integration.

•

Micro-Frontend Orchestration : Design and manage the strategy for Microfrontends, ensuring seamless orchestration, shared state management, and independent deployment cycles across distributed teams.

•

Design & Code Quality : Perform rigorous reviews of Low-Level Designs (LLD) and source code. Ensure implementations adhere to architectural standards, scalability requirements, and clean code principles.

•

Pattern Standardization : Establish and document Standard Design Patterns (e.g., Component-Driven Development, Modular Architecture, State Management) to be followed by the entire development organization.

•

Estimation & Scoping : Critically review and validate Level of Effort (LOE) for new enhancement requests. Ensure technical feasibility and identify potential architectural risks during the discovery phase.

•

R&D and Product Evaluation : Proactively evaluate third-party products, SaaS integrations, and emerging frameworks. Lead Proof of Concepts (POCs) to determine the ROI of adopting new tools or services.

•

Technical Mentorship : Provide ongoing technical guidance to lead developers, fostering a culture of excellence and architectural integrity.

Required Qualifications & Skills

•

Architectural Vision : 10+ years of frontend experience, with 3+ years in a dedicated Architectural or Principal-level role.

•

Framework Agnostic Expertise : Deep understanding of modern UI frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) and the ability to define cross-framework standards.

•

Micro-Frontend Mastery : Proven experience implementing and scaling Microfrontend architectures using Module Federation, Web Components, or similar orchestration techniques.

•

Cloud-Native Proficiency : Strong understanding of deploying frontend applications using modern cloud services (e.g., AWS S3/CloudFront, Azure Static Web Apps) and Edge computing.

•

Analytical Depth : Exceptional ability to critique Low-Level Designs and identify potential bottlenecks or technical debt before development begins.

•

Communication Mastery : Proven track record of influencing Enterprise Architecture boards and stakeholders while effectively guiding engineering teams.

Requirements

• Modern Tooling Ecosystem: Hands-on experience with React for building complex UIs and Vite for high-performance bundling and development workflows.

• Component Documentation: Experience using Storybook to build, document, and test UI components in isolation to facilitate a design-system-first approach.

• Design Systems: Experience with Headless UI architectures and maintaining shared component libraries.

• Web Security & Accessibility: Strong knowledge of CORS, CSP, XSS prevention, and WCAG accessibility standards.

• CI/CD Automation: Familiarity with automated testing and deployment pipelines for complex multi-repo or monorepo environments
