You will be the expert that everyone goes to when decisions need to be made about front-end related tools, processes, architecture, and people.

  • You can drive tangible performance improvements with a demonstrated availability to diagnose, remediate, and protect against performance problems.
  • You can grow the team around you through mentoring, collaboration, PR reviews, and overall technical leadership.
  • This is a hands-on role, there’s an expectation to spend at least 50% of your time developing features (customer facing or internal developer experience improvements)
