Senior Front-End Platform Engineer

Our front-end ecosystem is a journey through the history of web development—spanning everything from Backbone.js to modern React and Next.js architectures. We are looking for a Senior Front-End Platform Engineer to be the architect and executioner of our technical evolution.

You won’t just be shipping features; you will be building the foundation that allows our entire engineering team to move faster, stay secure, and transition seamlessly into the next generation of web technologies.

Our Tech Landscape

• Legacy: Backbone.js, older versions of Node.js, various state management libraries.
• Modern: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS.
• Infrastructure: [Insert your CI/CD e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS].

Why This Role?

This isn't a "maintenance" role. This is a transformation role. You will have the autonomy to choose the tools and patterns that will define the next five years of our engineering culture.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architectural Evolution: Design and execute migration strategies to move legacy applications (Backbone, older Node/React versions) toward a unified, modern stack (Next.js, TypeScript).
• Developer Experience (DX): Build and maintain shared tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and build systems (Webpack, Vite, Turborepo) that serve multiple FE applications.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as a bridge between teams, providing the "paved path" for feature developers to adopt new patterns without friction.
• Performance & Standards: Set the bar for web vitals, accessibility, and security across our disparate applications.
• Legacy Interoperability: Create "bridges" or micro-frontend patterns that allow our old and new stacks to coexist gracefully during the transition.

What We Are Looking For:

• 5+ Years in Software Development: You have deep experience building, shipping, and maintaining complex products. 
• The "Polyglot" Mindset: You are comfortable jumping into a Backbone file one hour and a Next.js Server Component the next. You respect legacy code for the value it provides while being eager to improve it.
• Migration Experience: You have successfully led or participated in large-scale migrations (e.g., JS to TS, Monolith to Micro-frontends, or Class-based to Functional React).
• Deep Tooling Knowledge: Expert-level understanding of Node.js environments, package managers (pnpm/yarn), and the modern build pipeline.
• Pragmatism: You understand that we can't rewrite everything overnight. You know how to prioritize technical debt based on business impact.
• LLM Believer: You know how to use Cursor, Gemini and are not afraid to do it. You know that LLM and Agents are tools that help engineers solve engineering problems.
