Requirements

Strong experience building modern web applications with TypeScript/JavaScript and component-based UI architecture.
Production experience with Angular and/or web components (StencilJS or similar).
Proven ability to build reusable UI systems (libraries, design systems, shared components) used by multiple teams.
Solid engineering fundamentals: code quality, testing, debugging, performance, and working in a multi-repo ecosystem.
Familiarity with CI/CD-friendly automation (e.g., Playwright-style testing) and release discipline for shared dependencies.
Comfort collaborating cross-functionally (engineering + UX + product) in a platform/enablement team model.

Nice To Haves

Experience with micro-frontend architectures (e.g., Module Federation concepts) and “platform shell” patterns.
Working knowledge of AWS and serverless approaches for UI-adjacent services.
Strong accessibility experience (ARIA patterns, testing tools like Axe/BrowserStack).
Experience integrating analytics/telemetry (Pendo, Datadog RUM) into UI frameworks.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and evolve reusable UI libraries and web components (including component standards, versioning strategy, and adoption across applications).
Develop and maintain UI frameworks and platform webapps (e.g., navigation, modal frameworks, assist panel, remote loader, attachment modal) used across micro-frontends.
Own quality end-to-end: write maintainable code, add test automation, and ensure stable releases for teams downstream.
Partner closely with UX and product to intake requests and deliver high-quality, consistent, accessible experiences.
Bake accessibility into everything (WCAG patterns, testing, and remediation guidance for consuming teams).
Contribute to platform modernization initiatives, including Angular upgrade workstreams and “stop gap” migration approaches.
Support product analytics instrumentation and integrations (Pendo, Datadog Real User Monitoring) that help teams understand user behavior and UI performance.
