• Collaboration & Influence: Proven ability to collaborate and influence cross-functional teams, driving alignment and achieving organizational impact.
• Platform Engineering Leadership
  • Designed and scaled developer platforms that provide self-service capabilities, reusable services, and secure delivery pipelines.
  • Architected platforms that support digital products across multiple channels (web, mobile, APIs), ensuring seamless integration between frontend and backend systems.
• Front-End Platform Engineering
  • Expertise in front-end architecture for large-scale digital applications and mobile apps (React, Angular, Vue, Kotlin, Swift, etc.).
  • Implemented micro-frontend architectures, design system libraries, and component platforms (e.g., Storybook, Bit, NX) to promote consistency and reuse.
  • Experience in Web Performance Optimization, client-side observability (RUM, Core Web Vitals), and secure delivery (CSP, SSO, JWT).
• API-Driven Design
  • Led API-first initiatives, enabling front-end teams to iterate independently with robust GraphQL/REST interfaces and API gateways.
  • Advocated for contract-driven development and used mocking tools to accelerate UI development cycles.

Requirements

• A BS/BA Degree in MIS, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 10-15 years of industry experience, with in-depth knowledge of a wide range of technology stacks for software development.
• At least 12 years of experience in software/digital engineering roles with increasing technical scope.
• Proven track record in enterprise-scale digital modernization or greenfield platform build-outs.
