As the UI Lead, you will own end-to-end UI architecture, mentor engineering teams, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver world-class user experiences.

You will play a strategic role in evolving our frontend stack, improving performance, and scaling applications using modern technologies such as ReactJS, Microfrontends, and advanced tooling.

Key Responsibilities:

- Architect scalable, modular, and maintainable frontend solutions using ReactJS, TypeScript, and Microfrontend frameworks.

- Define long-term vision and standards for UI architecture, component structure, state management, and integration patterns.

- Design reusable components, shared libraries, and a cohesive design system aligned with brand and UX guidelines.

- Establish performance and code quality benchmarks to maintain a high engineering bar.

- Lead, mentor, and upskill a team of frontend developers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation.

- Conduct thorough code reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices, clean coding principles, and architectural guidelines.

- Provide continuous feedback, goal-setting, and career development support for the UI team.

- Work closely with Product Managers to understand roadmaps, user needs, and align UI strategy with business goals.

- Collaborate with UX/UI Designers to translate high-level concepts into intuitive, refined UI flows.

- Partner with Backend Engineers to define API contracts, integration strategies, and data-flow optimizations.

- Ensure cohesive and consistent experiences across all user touchpoints.

- Lead efforts to optimize frontend performance, including lazy loading, code-splitting, caching, and asset optimization.

- Ensure applications meet high standards of responsiveness, accessibility (WCAG), cross-browser compatibility, and load-time efficiency.

- Implement testing strategies including unit tests, integration tests, visual regression tests, and UI automation.

- Evaluate, adopt, and integrate modern frontend tools (Webpack, Vite, Turbopack, Storybook, Linting tools, etc.) to improve dev velocity.

- Champion use of component libraries, dynamic theming, and design system governance.

- Explore emerging technologies (e.g., React Server Components, GraphQL, micro-frontend orchestrators, WebAssembly) and bring actionable recommendations.

- Collaborate with DevOps to enhance deployment pipelines, enabling efficient automated testing, builds, and releases.

- Define branch strategies, release processes, and continuous improvement initiatives for developer workflows.

- Ensure smooth integration of frontend workflows into larger platform environments.

Required Technical Skills:

- Expert-level knowledge of ReactJS, component architecture, Hooks, and functional programming patterns.

- Strong proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3/SASS, and modern frontend paradigms.

- Experience implementing Microfrontends using frameworks such as Module Federation, Single-SPA, or custom orchestrators.

- Deep understanding of frontend performance optimization and debugging tools (Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools, Web Vitals).

- Experience with modern build tools: Webpack, Vite, Turbopack, Babel.

- Familiarity with state management solutions: Redux, Zustand, Recoil, MobX, or similar.

- Understanding of REST, GraphQL, and integration with backend APIs.

- Proficient with CI/CD workflows, version control (Git), code quality tools (ESLint, Prettier), and testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress, React Testing Library)
