You will stand out if you also have… * Experience working in regulated industries such as Legal, Healthcare, or FinTech. * Familiarity with legacy protocols (e.g., Fax, SIP) or bridging legacy systems with modern web interfaces. * Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes). ## Description We are seeking a technical leader to drive the implementation for our next-generation eCommerce and customer experience platform. This role is pivotal in shifting our engineering strategy from monolithic applications to a flexible, scalable, and distributed web ecosystem. The Senior Engineer will not only contribute to the design of the core foundation that hosts independent applications but also enable the multi-year technical strategy that empowers autonomous product teams to develop, deploy, and manage features independently. This position requires expert-level domain knowledge to bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and seamless user experience. The value you will deliver… * Architectural Strategy & Vision: Enable the high-level architecture and implementation of a highly scalable, distributed front-end ecosystem, utilizing modern modular architecture patterns to host independent functional applications. * Platform Engineering: Design and implement core platform services (Identity, Account, App Configuration, Entitlements ) that serve as the foundation for all product teams, ensuring a unified and resilient customer experience. * Technical Standardization: Define and enforce strict coding standards, application lifecycle contracts, and integration patterns to ensure application isolation and memory optimization across the system. * Cross-Team Leadership: Influence multiple product teams by establishing shared APIs product platforms * Performance & Scalability: Drive architectural improvements that ensure the platform remains performant, responsive, eliminating bottlenecks associated with large volume product client applications. * Mentorship & Code Fluency: Serve as the technical authority for engineers; mentor senior engineers, review complex technical designs, and solve the deepest coding/debugging challenges related to state management and asynchronous loading, and coding standards. * DevOps & CI/CD Integration: Collaborate with DevOps to implement compliance-based deployment strategies that allow for atomic rollouts and instant rollbacks without requiring full platform regression testing. * Build vs. Buy: Conduct strategic evaluations for new technologies and tools to improve developer velocity and long-term code health. * Contribute to the technical recruitment process to identify top-tier engineering talent. * Write high-level technical documentation and white papers to communicate design decisions to executive stakeholders and non-technical audiences. * Serve as a technical liaison between product management and engineering to ensure feasibility of roadmap items. * Perform other duties and responsibilities as required, assigned, or requested. Consensus reserves the right to add or change duties at any time. ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Empowering Thousands of Developers: Our Journey to an Internal Developer Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1519-empowering-thousands-of-developers-our-journey-to-an-internal-developer-platform) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
