About The Position

Branding Brand is seeking a Senior / Lead Frontend Platform Engineer to architect and build a scalable frontend platform that enables multiple product teams to develop and deploy independently while delivering a seamless, unified user experience. This is not a feature delivery role—this position focuses on platform design, system architecture, and enabling engineering teams at scale. This is a hybrid position where you will be required to go into an office in Woonsocket, RI a few days a week and work from home the other days.

Requirements

Strong experience as a senior or lead frontend engineer with a focus on architecture and platform development
Deep understanding of modern frontend ecosystems (React, build tools, bundlers, code-splitting, SSR/CSR)
Proven ability to design and scale complex frontend systems across multiple teams and codebases
Hands-on experience with micro frontend architectures and related technologies
Strong knowledge of module federation (Webpack, Vite) and dependency sharing strategies
Experience designing shared component libraries and platform-level abstractions
Ability to reason through trade-offs and system design decisions clearly and effectively
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, especially in unfamiliar codebases

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting large-scale, multi-team frontend platforms
Familiarity with multiple MFE approaches (module federation, single-spa, iframe-based, etc.)
Experience optimizing build performance and CI/CD pipelines
Strong understanding of frontend observability, monitoring, and error boundaries

Responsibilities

Design and implement a frontend platform architecture that supports multiple independently deployed modules (micro frontends) within a single cohesive application
Lead the development of shared frameworks, tooling, and infrastructure used across teams
Define and enforce best practices for scalability, performance, and maintainability
Architect solutions for shared components, state management, design systems, and dependency management
Evaluate and implement micro frontend strategies (e.g., module federation, single-spa, build-time integration)
Establish patterns for cross-team collaboration while minimizing tight coupling between systems
Own decisions around routing, communication, and integration between micro frontends
Build and optimize frontend build systems, deployment pipelines, and dependency graphs
Ensure platform-level concerns such as authentication, observability, error handling, and resilience are properly designed
Mentor engineers and guide teams in adopting platform standards and architectural best practices
Implement secure coding best practices and participate in ongoing security training and awareness
