Staff Digital Engineer, Web

We are seeking a Staff Engineer, React Web to join our Digital Engineering team and drive the technical direction of our enterprise-scale, multi-brand digital ecosystem. This role is focused on front-end architecture and engineering, with deep expertise in React, modern web application design, and enterprise-grade digital platforms. 

As a Staff Engineer, you will shape how we design, scale, and operate customer-facing applications that power our global web presence. You will set the technical standard for performance, resiliency, security, accessibility, and maintainability in our React-based applications, while partnering closely with backend and product teams. Exposure to GitHub Copilot (or similar AI-powered developer tools) and Generative AI (GenAI) is a plus, particularly in driving productivity and innovative customer experiences.  

RESPONSIBILITIES

Architecture & Systems Design 

• Architect and evolve React-based enterprise web applications, ensuring scalability, performance, accessibility, and observability. 

• Apply modern frontend patterns: micro-frontends, component-driven architecture, state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil), and server-side rendering (Next.js). 

• Define standards for integration with backend APIs (REST/GraphQL) and real-time event-driven services. 

• Establish and enforce responsive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.1), and internationalization best practices. 

• Optimize edge delivery and caching strategies (Cloudflare or other CDNs) for global performance. 

• Ensure secure and seamless integration with identity management solutions (Auth0, Azure AD B2C). 

• Explore and guide the integration of GenAI-driven capabilities in web applications, such as personalization, conversational UI, and intelligent search. 

Delivery & Execution 

• Provide hands-on technical leadership for CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, with automated quality gates. 

• Champion automation-first practices in frontend engineering: testing (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright), performance validation, and observability. 

• Drive adoption of developer productivity tools such as GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted coding solutions. 

• Establish coding standards, design system adoption, and code review practices across geo-distributed teams. 

Collaboration & Influence 

• Partner with backend architects and product managers to align on end-to-end application architecture, technical roadmap, and release strategies. 

• Facilitate design reviews, proof-of-concept initiatives, and technical workshops. 

• Influence decision-making across global teams to balance speed with platform sustainability. 

• Partner with product, design, and data teams to identify GenAI use cases and integrate them into customer-facing web features. 

Mentorship & Growth 

• Mentor engineers in frontend engineering best practices, React ecosystem, design system adoption, and web performance optimization. 

• Promote a culture of quality-first, automation-first, and innovation-driven engineering. 

• Enable teams to design resilient, maintainable, and scalable web experiences that abstract vendor dependencies.
