React Technical Lead

About the role

Stonebranch is searching for a React Technical Lead to own the front-end architecture behind our automation platform. The role involves leading through technical excellence, driving projects forward, and taking accountability for outcomes without waiting to be told what to build next. This is a hybrid position – 3 days per week onsite, 2 days per week remote – and is based out of our global Headquarters in Alpharetta, GA. This role reports directly to the Team Lead for UC Development.

Responsibilities

• Own the front-end architecture for complex web applications, making the technical decisions that set direction for the area
• Establish and evolve the engineering standards, patterns, and best practices that other developers build against
• Architect and build reusable components and front-end libraries for scalability and long-term reuse
• Translate business requirements into sound technical solutions, balancing speed, quality, and maintainability
• Lead an AI-assisted development workflow, using tools like Claude to accelerate delivery while owning the quality of what ships
• Direct and review AI-generated code, applying the senior judgment to catch errors, enforce standards, and ensure architectural integrity
• Review the team's work and provide technical guidance that raises the quality bar across the front-end codebase
• Create new layouts, components, and user interfaces that improve how customers interact with the product
• Optimize rendering performance and API usage to keep applications fast and responsive at scale
• Ensure quality and reliability across browsers and devices through sound testing and troubleshooting practices
• Mentor developers and grow the technical capability of the team through code review, pairing, and guidance
• Partner with other engineering teams to align on and implement front-end solutions across the platform
• Communicate technical direction and trade-offs clearly to both technical and business stakeholders

Requirements

Strong, application-oriented React expertise is essential — you've built real, production-grade applications, not just websites — but what sets you apart is ownership: the drive to make this area yours and move it forward.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field
• 7+ years of professional experience in software development
• 5+ years of advanced React development experience building real, production-grade applications (not websites)
• Proven track record of leading technical initiatives, owning a technical area, and mentoring other developers

Skills

• Expert-level command of the React ecosystem including advanced patterns, component architecture, and performance optimization
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, modern JavaScript (ES6+), HTML and CSS
• Demonstrated ability to architect scalable front-end systems and establish development standards and best practices
• Solid command of testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and production deployment practices
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT); hands-on experience using them to ship production software is a strong plus
