Frontend Architect

About the Role

As a Frontend Architect, you will drive the design and architecture of scalable, high-performance frontend applications, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and Microsoft Power Platform to improve user experience and support digital transformation.

Our Team

You will be part of a dynamic team that collaborates globally to align architecture with business goals. Our team values innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and we are committed to delivering high-quality, user-centric solutions that meet our business needs.

What You Will Do

• Design and implement scalable, secure, high-performance frontend applications using modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js). Ensure cross-browser compatibility, responsiveness, UI/UX Architecture, and accessibility (WCAG).
• Architect component-based, modular UI solutions with reusable design systems and patterns. Implement robust state management (Redux, Context API, RxJS), frontend architecture patterns, state management, application lifecycle, modularization, and dependency management and integrate with backend APIs and microservices.
• Develop and maintain frontend build and deployment pipelines (Webpack, Vite, npm/yarn). Implement CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, and automate testing using Jest, Cypress, or Playwright.
• Build custom business applications using Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI. Develop intelligent, user-facing solutions using AI Builder and Azure services.
• Design and develop custom PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls to enhance the functionality and user experience of PowerApps applications.
• Ensure frontend solutions adhere to security best practices (XSS/CSRF prevention, secure authentication flows) and regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.), utilizing services like Azure Entra ID for identity management.
• Establish and enforce frontend architecture principles, coding standards, design-system governance, technology guardrails, and review processes. Lead architecture reviews, document key decisions, manage technical debt and exceptions, and ensure solutions remain aligned with enterprise architecture, security, compliance, accessibility, and lifecycle standards. Architects should use Architecture Decision Records to document the rationale behind key architectural decisions.
• Continuously monitor and optimize application performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, lazy loading, rendering efficiency) using tools like Lighthouse, Azure Monitor, and Application Insights.
• Work with global teams to align architecture with business goals and maintain technical documentation, UI style guides, and flowcharts.
• Train and mentor junior frontend developers on modern development practices and design system standards.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders and designers to understand requirements and translate them into intuitive, technical UI solutions.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in frontend architecture and application development using modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js), along with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI).
• 4+ years of hands-on experience building enterprise-grade UI components, including PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls and Azure-integrated frontend solutions.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3/SASS, focusing on frontend architecture, component design, and UI/UX best practices.
• Proven experience designing and consuming REST/GraphQL APIs for integration between frontend applications and backend or legacy systems.
• Experience with frontend build tools and automation (Webpack, Vite, npm/yarn) and CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
• Experience with responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1).
• Demonstrated understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), frontend security best practices, system integration, and regulatory compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
• Experience with API Management, Azure CDN, Azure Storage, or similar Azure services.
• Strong understanding of Domain-Driven Design, microservices, event-driven architecture, and enterprise integration patterns. Experience defining and applying architecture governance, including technical standards, design and code review gates, decision records, exception management, risk controls, technical-debt oversight, and alignment with enterprise architecture.
• Strong skills in state management, component reusability, design systems, and performance optimization practices.
• Drive CI/CD adoption, automation, and cloud-native frontend development initiatives.
• Evaluate emerging technologies, build POCs, and resolve complex production issues.
• Conduct system assessments and performance reviews to identify areas for improvement and optimization.
• Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory requirements in the design and implementation of solutions.
• Collaborate with project managers to define project scope, timelines, and deliverables, and provide technical input for project planning and estimation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related discipline.
• Experience with micro-frontend architectures and Module Federation.
• Proficiency with design tools like Figma or Adobe XD, and experience translating designs into production-ready code.
• Experience with Azure cloud services (App Services, Functions, Azure CDN) for frontend hosting and content delivery.
• Experience working in cross-functional teams in a global environment and mentoring software developers.
