About the role

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.

Technical Requirements (Hard Skills)

  • Solid experience as a Frontend Architect or Technical Lead.
  • Deep expertise in Angular (recent versions) and its ecosystem.
  • Hands-on experience building Design Systems and Web Components (Stencil.js, Lit, or Vanilla).
  • 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.

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 team's technical bar.

  • Technical Evolution:

Drive the adoption of modern Angular features (Signals, Standalone Components) and manage Monorepo (Nx) structures to optimize code sharing.
