Senior Frontend Platform Engineer

Overview  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 executor 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, Type Script, Tailwind CSS.

Infrastructure:  [Insert your CI/CD e.g., Git Hub 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.

Requirements

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, Type Script).

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.
