Job type:
Full Time

We’re hiring a hands‑on Tech Lead to architect and scale an internal investment insights platform for a top global private equity firm. The platform will be used across multiple internal product teams and requires reusable components, modular dashboards, and a high-quality developer experience.

This role blends technical leadership and consultative engineering. You’ll define frontend architecture, guide implementation, and work directly with Product, Design, and client Engineering leadership onsite in New York.

What You Will Do
Platform & Component Architecture

Package, version, and distribute shared components with clear migration paths

Support consumption in both Bootstrap and Tailwind environments without fragmentation

Define testing strategy across unit, integration, visual, and E2E levels

Technical Delivery

Define and enforce CI/CD standards for publishing and deployments

Produce documentation, usage guides, and integration examples for downstream teams

Partner with Product and Design to translate ambiguous requirements into actionable plans

Present architectural decisions to client Tech Leads and Engineering Committees

Support a distributed engineering team (NY + offshore) through reviews, onboarding, and unblockers

Communicate tradeoffs, assumptions, and alternatives clearly to mixed audiences

What We’re Looking For
Experience

12–15 years engineering experience with a strong frontend focus

Deep experience with React and component-driven architectures at scale

Experience with micro-frontend architectures (independently deployable modules)

Experience building or extending component libraries (not just consuming)

Familiarity with AWS serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, Fargate)

Experience with CI/CD, containerization, versioning, and semantic versioning

Comfortable working through evolving requirements and partial clarity

Storybook for component development and documentation

UI Performance Testing

Familiarity with metrics: TTI, TBT, FCP, LCP

Component Ecosystem Awareness (Nice to Have)

How You Work

Communicates tradeoffs and proposes pragmatic, supportable solutions

Works autonomously and drives decisions forward even with partial clarity

Explains architectural reasoning clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Collaborates closely with Product and Design to shape solutions, not just execute tickets

Treats documentation, onboarding, and developer experience as essential parts of delivery

Why This Role

Strategic, multi-year platform initiative with high visibility

Direct onsite collaboration with senior Product, Business, and Engineering leaders

Opportunity to shape developer experience and platform standards across teams
