About the role
- Own and evolve our Module Federation architecture, strengthening topology, registry governance, and the technical decisions product teams depend on. Set a clear, documented direction others can confidently follow and build on.
- Lead our frontend modernization strategy, defining and executing the deprecation path for legacy patterns, building codemod tooling, and partnering with teams to migrate safely and sustainably.
- Act as a technical bridge across value stream teams, influencing architecture decisions that go beyond FF's immediate domain.
- Grow our React Native foundation alongside the web platform, helping establish the patterns, tooling, and standards that make mobile a first-class part of how we build at Jane.
- Elevate frontend observability across both web and mobile, instrumenting and diagnosing complex system behavior so performance, reliability, and developer experience continuously improve.
- Contribute to a 6-12 month technical strategy for the team's domains, taking responsibility for the team's successful execution against it, and proactively managing risks and timelines so we ship with confidence.
- Raise the technical ceiling for the team through architecture reviews, well-written ADRs, high-quality code reviews, and hands-on pairing that makes everyone around you better.
- Actively coach and elevate the people around you through great code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing. You view team success as your success.
- Champion AI-native development across the team and beyond: establish best practices, create pathways from experiments to standard practice, and help other teams understand what genuine AI acceleration looks like versus noise.
Requirements
- Significant professional experience as a frontend or platform engineer, including multiple years at a Senior level and a track record of leading large, complex initiatives across teams.
- Deep experience with Module Federation, frontend build systems (webpack, rspack), CI tooling, and JavaScript ecosystem standards in large codebases.
- Hands-on experience with React Native in a production environment, ideally including shared design system or tooling work across web and mobile.
- Proven experience modernizing legacy systems, including navigating unfamiliar code, defining migration strategies, and building automation or codemod tooling at scale.
- Demonstrated architectural leadership through design docs, ADRs, and cross-team technical influence that actually moved the needle.
- Strong AI fluency, not just in your own workflow but in building tools and workflows that help others. You've shipped AI-powered tooling and you know the difference between genuine acceleration and noise.
- Comfortable operating as a technical co-leader alongside a DM: contributing to roadmaps, managing technical risk, and communicating clearly to varied audiences including leadership.
- Familiarity with frontend observability tooling (Sentry, Datadog or similar) and a habit of using data to drive technical decisions.
