Lead Software Engineer, Frontend Platform Team

About the role

As the Lead Software Engineer for our Frontend Platform team, your mission is to build a production-ready frontend ecosystem engineered from the ground up for autonomous and AI-assisted software development. This is a greenfield role where you will scale our early-stage architecture into a robust production environment and establish our core design system from scratch.

Instead of building a traditional developer platform solely for human engineers, you will design a highly deterministic repository structure, runtime abstractions, and strict architectural guardrails. Your primary goal is to ensure that AI agents have the high-fidelity context, type safety, and safety nets they need to safely ship high-performance UI features for our 5+ product engineering teams. You will head our Frontend Center of Excellence, redefining what it means to build software when AI is the primary author.

What you'll doLead the Center of Excellence: guide both the frontend community and the wider engineering org as we shift to AI-native software development. You'll set the standards that make this feel natural: prompt engineering practices, clear repository boundaries, and automated code mods that keep quality high as development accelerates.

Harden the Autonomous Platform Foundation: Take our early-stage frontend architecture to production, establishing a highly performant monorepo structure, efficient local development setups, and automated CI/CD pipelines optimized for rapid development loops.

Co-create the Design System: Partner directly with Product Design to launch a token-driven, highly composable component library from scratch, establishing automated design-to-code synchronization and deterministic component behaviors that make UI assembly foolproof for AI agents.

Enable Product Team Autonomy: Design a self-service platform infrastructure, including instant preview environments, and isolated local development workspaces, that allows feature teams to independently
