About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead frontend and fullstack implementation workstreams for carrier and enterprise partner integrations, owning the architecture and delivery of complex, partner-specific experiences from kickoff through production
Architect and implement scalable UI layers and API integrations, setting patterns for partner-facing surfaces that can be reused and extended across future implementations
Author high-quality RFCs with little guidance — identifying opportunities to turn one-off partner work into reusable, maintainable patterns that reduce build time for every implementation that follows
Partner with Implementation Managers, Business Systems Analysts, and TPMs to translate business requirements into well-scoped, actionable technical plans
Provide technical leadership in code reviews, delivering substantive architectural feedback that raises the quality bar across the team
Champion a consumer-first mindset — designing integrations that are intuitive for partner users and maintainable for the next engineer who touches the code
Champion engineering excellence through comprehensive testing strategies, including unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage for all partner deliverables
Foster a security-first mindset within the team, identifying non-compliant code and ensuring reviewed contributions meet security requirements
Define AI coding tool standards and best practices for the vertical, balancing productivity gains with quality guardrails and measuring effectiveness over time

Experience designing and consuming gRPC/REST APIs and building reliable integration layers between systems
Proven track record of delivering accessible, performant, and production-ready frontend solutions that balance technical quality with delivery timelines
Experience with modern frontend tooling including component libraries, build systems, and CI/CD pipelines
Strong communication skills; comfortable presenting technical topics and tradeoff decisions to engineering directors, implementation managers, and non-technical business stakeholders
Peer feedback that demonstrates this person is highly looked up to technically and as a collaborator
Experience with distributed systems or microservices preferred
