This specific team owns the frontend platform infrastructure that powers ~30 React applications — the build tooling, testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and developer experience integrations that let teams focus on delivering customer value instead of fighting their tools. You won't just be writing code; you'll be multiplying the productivity of the entire frontend engineering organization.

This role leads the integration of generative AI into our platform tooling, creating intelligent systems to eliminate toil and automate repetitive tasks. Join us if you're energized by high-leverage problems that directly improve the daily experience and confidence of hundreds of engineers.

• Research and champion forward-thinking solutions for frontend developer experience, leveraging or introducing new technologies as needed.
• Support the implementation roadmap for core platform infrastructure, working with stakeholders to resolve technical debt and propose scalable solutions.

About You

• You have 5+ years of experience in frontend or full-stack development, specializing in developer tooling, platform engineering, or infrastructure, with deep expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript and React.
