Front-end Architect

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Frontend Architect to serve as the technical backbone of our frontend engineering. Your mission is to move beyond feature delivery and focus on building a robust scalable and automated development platform. You will define how our products are built ensuring a seamless Developer Experience (DX) and high-performance delivery.

This is a Technical Lead/Individual Contributor role. You will provide technical direction and mentorship.

The Technical Challenge

• Work at the cutting edge of technology with Figma-to-Code automation via AI within the Google Cloud stack.
• Build an architecture that supports multiple teams and products at scale.
• Full autonomy to propose and implement tools that improve global engineering productivity.

• Design System Architecture: Architect and evolve our Design System based on Web Components ensuring it is framework-agnostic reusable and easily integrated into Angular environments.
• Technical Standards & Guidance: Define document and disseminate frontend architecture patterns. Act as a technical consultant for product squads ensuring best practices are applied.
• AI-Driven Innovation (GCP): Create acceleration tools using Google Cloud Platform (Vertex AI / Agent Platform) to automate code generation (Figma-to-Code) bridging the gap between design and implementation.
• Frontend Health & Metrics: Develop tools and dashboards to monitor frontend health (test coverage complexity bundle size). Create actionable metrics to guide teams toward continuous improvement.
• Tuning & Performance: Drive performance optimization initiatives (Core Web Vitals Change Detection strategies Lazy Loading) ensuring ultra-fast and responsive interfaces.
• Technical Mentorship: Actively mentor interns and junior developers creating learning paths to elevate the teams technical bar.
• Technical Evolution: Drive the adoption of modern Angular features (Signals Standalone Components) and manage Monorepo (Nx) structures to optimize code sharing.

Technical Requirements (Hard Skills)

• Strong knowledge of Software Architecture Design Patterns and Clean Code.
• Experience with Monorepo tools (preferably Nx).
• Experience with GCP (Vertex AI / Agent Platform) for building agents and automating development workflows.
• Mastery of testing strategies (Unit E2E with Cypress/Playwright and Visual Regression).
• Proficiency with design tools (Figma) and extracting Design Tokens.

Soft Skills

• Technical Mentorship: A passion for teaching and the patience to guide developers at the start of their careers.
• Systemic Vision: Ability to look at the entire ecosystem to anticipate development bottlenecks.
• Influential Communication: Ability to justify technical decisions and align standards across stakeholders (Product Design and Engineering).
• Pragmatism: Ability to balance technical excellence with business delivery needs.
