As a Staff Frontend Software Engineer you will be the technical anchor for our frontend organization. This is not just a role for an expert coder; it is a role for a strategic thinker an architectural pioneer and a cultural catalyst.

This engineer shows ownership in all stages of the software development life-cycle (SDLC). This engineer cares about XCEEDs product and always tries his/her best to make the product better. Stop starting / start finishing mindset.

What You Will Do

• Technical Strategy & Architecture: Shape the long-term frontend architecture across our estate a suite of plain-React applications and embeddable widgets plus a (App Router) application much of it shipping as independently versioned shared packages. Drive pragmatic evolution that scales with XCEEDs growth not architecture for its own sake.
• Core Infrastructure & Tooling: Champion developer velocity. Build and maintain the shared libraries design-token system build/release pipelines and CI/CD that let our teams ship safely and fast and keep our shared packages easy to release and consume.
• Hands-on Delivery: Stay close to the code. Ship production frontend work directly including in the areas where frontend maturity has the most room to grow and set the standard by example not just by document.
• Technical Leadership & Governance: Establish frontend standards best practices and a rigorous-but-fast code-review culture. Be the technical reference point for complex frontend challenges and raise the bar on the parts you cant see but that define a great product types tests tooling observability security.
• Performance Accessibility & Resilience: Own Core Web Vitals performance budgets and accessibility (WCAG) with a mobile-first lens and an eye on traffic spikes from client-side bundle size and interaction latency in our React apps to SSR/ISR and SEO in our application.
• Mentorship & Cross-functional Collaboration: Elevate the engineers around you and partner with Product Design and backend to turn ambitious visions into technically sound modular realities keeping the design system and shared components a help not a tax.

The Skills You Bring

• Experience: 8 years in software/frontend engineering with a track record at Staff/Principal level or leading large-scale frontend initiatives end to end.
• Core expertise: Deep mastery of TypeScript and modern JavaScript semantic HTML and advanced CSS with a design-token / utility approach (we use Tailwind with a tokenized design system).
• Framework depth: Deep production-proven React mastery you understand how React itself works (reconciliation rendering the hooks model) not just the API because most of our apps are plain React SPAs that own their own routing state and bundling. Plus App Router depth (Server Components SSR/ISR hydration) for the application where SEO matters. Equivalent depth in another modern framework (Vue Svelte) transfers.
• System design: Strong experience with state management caching and data-fetching (we lean on TanStack Query over REST and GraphQL); client-side SPA architecture (routing code-splitting bundle budgets); and designing shared versioned packages consumed across apps including embeddable widgets.
• Tooling build & release: Solid understanding of modern bundlers Vite for our React apps and the pipeline (Webpack/Turbopack) package build-and-publish workflows and CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions with automated Playwright e2e).
• Soft skills: Exceptional communication. You can explain complex tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders and rally engineers.

Bonus points for

• Experience building or maintaining a federated Design System used across multiple product lines.
• Contributions to open-source frontend projects or a presence in the tech community.
• Strong knowledge of web security best practices (CORS XSS CSP).
• Experience with WebAssembly WebGL or performance profiling using Chrome DevTools.
