## Description

Engineering (≈50%)

\- Design and evolve the architecture of a large Next.js (App Router) application: rendering strategy (SSR / SSG / ISR / RSC), code-splitting, and bundle health.

\- Drive web performance work end to end - Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), edge caching, and RUM-based measurement.

\- Set the engineering standard through code review, pairing, and picking up the most complex or ambiguous tasks.

\- Own frontend observability: tracing, RUM, and the feedback loop from production back into engineering decisions.

\- Shape the CDN and caching strategy together with platform/infra (cache keys, Vary, surrogate keys, edge logic).

Leadership (≈50%)

\- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4-6 frontend engineers (1:1s, growth plans, performance feedback).

\- Own delivery for the team: planning, prioritization, scoping, and realistic commitments.

\- Partner with product, design, backend, and DevOps on roadmap and technical trade-offs.

\- Improve how the team works: branching strategy, CI/CD, definition of done, release process.

Tech stack

\- \*\*Core:\*\* TypeScript, React, Next.js (App Router), React Server Components.

\- \*\*Build / repo:\*\* pnpm monorepo, modern bundler tooling, shared internal packages.

\- \*\*Edge / delivery:\*\* Fastly CDN (VCL, edge caching, Early Hints), multi-brand / multi-tenant routing.

\- \*\*Observability:\*\* OpenTelemetry with a SigNoz backend, Web Vitals RUM pipeline.

\- \*\*Platform:\*\* Kubernetes-based deployments, object storage, Redis, MongoDB (backend-adjacent context).

\- \*\*Practices:\*\* trunk-based development, feature flags, strong SEO discipline for customer-facing pages.

## Requirements

\- 7+ years of frontend engineering experience, with 2+ years leading a team.

\- Deep expertise in React and TypeScript; production experience with Next.js (ideally App Router / RSC).

\- Track record in web performance optimization and understanding of how rendering strategy affects it.

\- Solid grasp of how the browser, CDN, and caching layers interact in production.

\- Proven people-leadership: grown engineers, run a delivery process, handled trade-offs under real constraints.

Nice to have

\- Experience with high-traffic, multi-brand or multi-tenant platforms.

\- Hands-on observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, SigNoz, or similar) and RUM.

\- Familiarity with Fastly or comparable CDNs at the VCL / edge-logic level.

\- SEO experience for large customer-facing sites (rendering, crawlability, hreflang, canonical strategy).
