About the Role
The onshore Senior Front-End Engineer leads React UI architecture and build quality for the platform, directing a pod of offshore front-end engineers while remaining hands-on in code review, component library ownership, and sprint delivery. In this role, you will serve as the technical authority on all frontend decisions, from design system implementation through role-based access control (RBAC) patterns, API integration, and CI/CD pipeline compliance. You will collaborate closely with the onshore Solution Architect, UX/Product Designer, and Sr. Back-End Engineer to ensure the frontend is production-ready and demo-ready every two weeks.
This role is work-from-home (remote) though must be able to commute to client offices in Falls Church, VA as needed (estimated every 2 weeks). This is a full-time W2 employment role with befits. Please note that this role is tied to a client contract and is structured as an initial 9-month position. Opportunities for extension or long-term placement are highly likely based on client renewal and project performance.
Responsibilities
As the Senior Front-End Engineer, you will set the technical direction for the frontend ecosystem, mentor engineering talent, and deliver robust software. Your key responsibilities include:
- Architecture & Leadership: Lead React frontend architecture, defining component structure, state management patterns, and design system implementation across all process flow UIs. Direct and oversee a pod of offshore front-end engineers by assigning work, conducting code reviews, and ensuring production-ready output.
- Component Systems & UI Development: Build and own the shared component library used across all role-based process flow UIs. Collaborate with the Lead UX/Product Designer to translate Figma wireframes into high-fidelity, accessible React implementations meeting WCAG 2.2 A standards.
- API Integration & Access Control: Implement data reads and write operations from React to the backend REST API layer (via Azure APIM), ensuring the frontend does not call the database or ERP system directly. Implement RBAC in the UI aligned with SSO federation via Azure Entra ID.
- Quality, Pipeline & Security Compliance: Own CI/CD pipeline compliance for frontend code, ensuring all commits pass Veracode SAST + SCA security scanning prior to merging. Resolve and triage frontend defects during SIT, UAT, and post-launch hypercare within agreed SLA windows.
- Stakeholder Demos & Delivery: Lead bi-weekly sprint demos with stakeholders, ensuring all frontend work is demo-ready on schedule. Conduct knowledge transfer to the client team ahead of the support handoff.
Required Skills & Experience
- 6–8+ years of front-end development experience, with at least 4 years focused in React (functional components, hooks, context API, performance optimization).
- Demonstrable experience leading or directing offshore front-end engineering teams.
- Proven experience working from Figma wireframes and collaborating closely with UX/UI designers.
- Experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) for pair programming, code generation, architecture documentation, and code review (AI-assisted development is standard on this engagement).
- Familiarity with RBAC patterns and SSO integration (Azure Entra ID / OAuth 2.0 preferred).
- Experience with automated UI testing frameworks such as Storybook, Playwright, or similar.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the proven ability to lead sprint demos, conduct code reviews with offshore teams, and articulate technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience building enterprise financial or ERP applications.
- Experience building and owning shared component libraries and design systems for enterprise web applications.
- Experience consuming REST APIs via Azure APIM or equivalent API gateways.
- Proficiency with Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines and security-gated build processes (Veracode or similar SAST tools).
- Familiarity with Azure App Service hosting and deployment patterns.
- Familiarity with RTK Query, Material UI, and React Router.

What We Do
WHO WE ARE: Data Society provides industry-tailored, high-quality data science training and advisory services for corporations and government agencies with a desire to make data driven decisions. We believe that modern organizations need to be equipped to make data driven decisions that significantly amplify the effects of existing subject matter expertise. These skills result in increased efficiency and more accurate analyses for research and operations. In order for organizations to become more data driven, they must develop a common data vocabulary across leadership, analysts and generalists. They must also empower their managers and technical staff with appropriate data science skills. Data Society solves both of these needs through customized data science workshops and online learning that help organizations stay competitive and accomplish their missions. OUR VISION: We are passionate about increasing data literacy on a global scale so that organizations and their employees can be smarter about data. We've seen how data analysis can solve problems and provide insights that lead to better business and policy decisions. We are dedicated to giving others the tools to approach problems strategically and building a community in which we answer the question "How can data science change the world?". OUR SOLUTIONS: Our expert data scientists and engineers work alongside your teams to make more informed decisions, automate time-consuming manual processes, solve your most complex data challenges, and build data systems to ensure the enduring impact of your work. OUR TRAINING: We teach data science in an intuitive, engaging, and applicable way so that you can apply the methods you learn in class right back in the workplace. We provide training through a combination of in-person, virtual, and online instruction with supplemental coaching and support. We don't just provide data science courses - we create communities of professionals who think about data differently.
