About the role
- We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who thinks like an infrastructure engineer but has deep fluency in frontend systems.
- This is a high-leverage, low-oversight role.
- You'll be setting technical direction for a foundational team, not just executing a roadmap someone else wrote.
Responsibilities
- Frontend architecture: Own and evolve the architectural foundations of our frontend platform - module boundaries, micro-frontend patterns, shared component/design-system infrastructure, and state management strategy.
- Developer experience & tooling: Build and maintain the build systems, local dev environments, CI/CD pipelines, linting/codegen, and internal tooling that other engineers depend on daily.
- Software factory / agentic workflows: Continuously identify the biggest bottleneck in the engineering workflow and build AI-agent-driven automation to remove it, then move to the next one.
- Cross-functional partnership: Work closely with product engineering teams, design systems, and platform/infra teams to make sure foundational investments actually solve real product-team pain points.

- Experience designing and shipping internal developer tooling or platform infrastructure that measurably improved developer velocity.
- Hands-on experience with AI-agent-driven or LLM-powered engineering workflows (agentic coding tools, autonomous pipelines, AI-assisted codegen/migration) - or a clear point of view on how to build them.
Nice to have
- Experience with monorepo tooling, micro-frontend architectures, or large-scale frontend platform migrations.
