This is the perfect opportunity for a seasoned engineer who loves building great software and great teams.

  • Driving best practices in testing, accessibility, design systems, and CI/CD
  • Collaborating closely with stakeholders, UX designers, and product teams
  • Mentoring engineers, running code reviews, and shaping a culture of technical quality

What you bring
  • Strong background in JavaScript, React, and TypeScript (8+ years)
  • Experience with design systems, Storybook, and scalable front-end architecture
  • Exposure to REST & GraphQL APIs, AWS, CI/CD pipelines
