Lead Engineer | Onsite - Delaware

Key Responsibilities

• Own delivery of the micro-frontend strategy, including module boundaries, shared shell, and Webpack & Module Federation setup across teams.

• Define the UI design system — component libraries, design tokens , and how they're sourced from Figma and propagated to code.

• Set standards for state management across React applications (web and mobile) and for CSS architecture at scale.

• Own accessibility (ARIA) compliance delivery across all portal surfaces.

• Define UI performance budgets and drive performance/error monitoring rollout in production.

• Direct authentication/authorization delivery for UI surfaces using OAuth/OIDC , and enforce OWASP web security standards.

• Set the A/B testing approach and the containerization & deployment pattern for UI services.

• Define the test automation strategy (Playwright) and quality gates for UI releases.

• Run day-to-day delivery of the offshore senior developer team: sprint commitments, code review, real-time unblocking, and hands-on work on critical or time-sensitive pieces.

• Report delivery status, risks, and blockers to engineering leadership.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 8+ years in front-end engineering, with 3+ years as a tech lead owning end-to-end delivery of large-scale web applications (not a pure design/review architect role).

• Expert, architecture-level command of React (web and mobile) and Node.js/TypeScript .

• Proven design experience with Webpack, Module Federation, and micro-frontend architecture in production at scale.

• Strong grounding in state management patterns (Redux, Context, signals, or equivalent) and when to use each.

• Experience architecting a UI design system (component libraries, design tokens) and working with design tooling ( Figma ) hand-off workflows.

• Deep knowledge of ARIA/accessibility standards (WCAG) and how to enforce them at the platform level.

• Strong CSS architecture experience (design-system-driven styling at scale, not just component-level CSS).

• Proven ability to define and enforce UI performance measurement and optimization strategy.

• Solid understanding of OAuth/OIDC and OWASP web security practices for front-end applications.

• Experience architecting containerized UI deployment pipelines.

• Financial-services or regulated-industry experience preferred given security/compliance stakes.

• Strong stakeholder communication; able to directly manage day-to-day delivery of an offshore team (standups, unblocking, sprint accountability).

• Proven track record of shipping large-scale UI platforms on committed timelines, including hands-on troubleshooting under delivery pressure.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience designing UI A/B testing frameworks.

• Familiarity with Playwright or comparable UI test automation frameworks at an architectural level.

• Experience with error-monitoring platforms (Sentry, Datadog RUM, or similar) at a design level.

• Exposure to mobile-specific micro-frontend or module-federation patterns.

• Relevant certifications or contributions to open-source design systems.
