Lead Engineer | Onsite - Delaware

Key Responsibilities 

• Own delivery of the micro-frontend strategy, including module boundaries, shared shell, and Webpack & Module Federation setup across teams. 

• Define the UI design system — component libraries, design tokens, and how they're sourced from Figma and propagated to code. 

• Set standards for state management across React applications (web and mobile) and for CSS architecture at scale. 

• Own accessibility (ARIA) compliance delivery across all portal surfaces. 

• Define UI performance budgets and drive performance/error monitoring rollout in production. 

• Direct authentication/authorization delivery for UI surfaces using OAuth/OIDC, and enforce OWASP web security standards. 

• Set the A/B testing approach and the containerization & deployment pattern for UI services. 

• Define the test automation strategy (Playwright) and quality gates for UI releases. 

• Run day-to-day delivery of the offshore senior developer team: sprint commitments, code review, real-time unblocking, and hands-on work on critical or time-sensitive pieces. 

• Report delivery status, risks, and blockers to engineering leadership. 

Must-Have Qualifications 

• 8+ years in front-end engineering, with 3+ years as a tech lead owning end-to-end delivery of large-scale web applications (not a pure design/review architect role). 

• Expert, architecture-level command of React (web and mobile) and Node.js/TypeScript. 

• Proven design experience with Webpack, Module Federation, and micro-frontend architecture in production at scale. 

• Strong grounding in state management patterns (Redux, Context, signals, or equivalent) and when to use each. 

• Experience architecting a UI design system (component libraries, design tokens) and working with design tooling (Figma) hand-off workflows. 

• Deep knowledge of ARIA/accessibility standards (WCAG) and how to enforce them at the platform level. 

• Strong CSS architecture experience (design-system-driven styling at scale, not just component-level CSS). 

• Proven ability to define and enforce UI performance measurement and optimization strategy. 

• Solid understanding of OAuth/OIDC and OWASP web security practices for front-end applications. 

• Experience architecting containerized UI deployment pipelines. 

• Financial-services or regulated-industry experience preferred given security/compliance stakes. 

• Strong stakeholder communication; able to directly manage day-to-day delivery of an offshore team (standups, unblocking, sprint accountability). 

• Proven track record of shipping large-scale UI platforms on committed timelines, including hands-on troubleshooting under delivery pressure. 

Nice-to-Have Qualifications 

• Experience designing UI A/B testing frameworks. 

• Familiarity with Playwright or comparable UI test automation frameworks at an architectural level. 

• Experience with error-monitoring platforms (Sentry, Datadog RUM, or similar) at a design level. 

• Exposure to mobile-specific micro-frontend or module-federation patterns. 

• Relevant certifications or contributions to open-source design systems.
