This role reports to the Lead Engineer.
Responsibilities
Architecture & Technical Execution
Feature Ownership & Tech Design: Lead technical specification, UI state design, and task breakdowns for complex web modules; define clean API contracts and anticipate edge cases.
Frontend Performance & Client Optimization: Architect fluid, responsive web interfaces; optimize rendering performance, memory consumption, and frame rates for resource-constrained mobile browser environments.
Fullstack Versatility & Adaptability: Demonstrate flexibility across the tech stack by contributing to fullstack web workflows, integrating backend RESTful services, and taking on backend component updates or API integrations when needed.
Telemetry, Debugging & RCA: Debug complex issues across client and network layers using profiling tools to deliver clear root-cause analysis (RCA) and durable technical fixes.
Quality, Collaboration & Governance
Cross-Functional Scoping: Partner with product owners, UI/UX designers, and backend leads to assess technical feasibility, evaluate pre-development risks, and estimate task complexity.
Multi-Layered Testing: Author automated test suites (unit, component, and end-to-end) across frontend modules and API client logic to maintain high code quality and reliability.
Code Reviews & Mentorship: Conduct constructive peer code reviews, enforce TypeScript/React best practices, and mentor associate and junior engineers to maintain high engineering standards across the team.
