Growth Opportunities

No H1B

Responsibilities

Lead Angular modernization: migrate toward modern Angular idioms and capabilities (e.g., standalone components, signals, typed forms, modern control flow), improving component design, reusability, and architectural clarity

Own frontend architecture: establish durable patterns for state management (e.g., NgRx or equivalent), data flow, dependency injection, and module boundaries that make change safe and fast

Raise the bar on quality: improve testability (Jest/Testing Library), end‑to‑end reliability (Playwright/Cypress), performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle strategy, SSR/ISR where appropriate), and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) through repeatable engineering practices

Design for security by default: embed secure‑by‑design principles—robust authN/authZ (OIDC/OAuth2, RBAC), secure storage and data handling, defense‑in‑depth for the browser (CSP, CSRF protections)—and UX that reinforces least privilege

Partner across the stack: collaborate with backend engineers to shape API contracts (REST/GraphQL), pagination/streaming strategies, error models, and performance SLAs; ensure UI architecture reflects real system behavior and scale

Operationalize the frontend: champion observability (OpenTelemetry/logging), feature flags, release health, error budgets, and progressive delivery in CI/CD to keep quality high while shipping quickly

Mentor and uplevel: lead design reviews and architecture discussions; coach engineers on Angular, testing, performance, accessibility, and security; help evolve our design system and UX maturity

Drive alignment: build trust through clear communication, lightweight RFCs, and collaboration with product managers and designers; influence without authority

Required

Deep Angular experience: significant experience building and maintaining complex Angular applications in production, including modernization of long‑lived codebases with incremental, low‑disruption change

Modern frontend architecture POV: strong opinions—loosely held—on component composition, state management, data fetching, error handling, and performance optimization for large enterprise apps

Systems thinker: comfortable reasoning across layers (frontend, APIs, data, identity, observability, operations) to make trade‑offs explicit and decisions durable

Security mindset: practical understanding of secure web app development (OWASP Top 10, CSP, SSRF/CSRF mitigations, input validation) and how UX can reinforce Zero Trust and Least Privilege

Quality and accessibility: track record improving accessibility and performance in ways that scale with the team; familiarity with WCAG conformance and automated tooling

Collaboration & communication: clear communicator who enjoys mentoring, facilitating design sessions, and influencing outcomes across teams
