ROLE OVERVIEW

The Senior Front End Developer is a technical leader responsible for building and overseeing high-scale, high-fidelity design system components from Figma into production-ready front-end code within modern, headless Content Management System environments, such as Adobe and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. This role requires a strong focus on technical leadership, scaling component reusability, setting architectural standards, and ensuring best-in-class performance in a modern UI stack.

You will lead the front-end architecture and implementation of a new customer web portal, ensuring all developed pages and applications are performant, accessible, and aligned with client-specific architecture across various digital properties.

• Debug, optimize, and refactor large-scale component codebases for maximum efficiency and maintainability.

DESIGN SYSTEMS & QUALITY GOVERNANCE

• Translate complex design specifications from Figma into pixel-perfect, production-ready interfaces.

COLLABORATION & DELIVERY

• Partner with UX/UI designers and product managers to clarify complex requirements and technical feasibility for new pages and features.
• Actively participate in and set the standard for code reviews, sharing best practices and elevating the quality of front-end development across the team. Mentor junior and mid-level developers.
• Integrate AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot) into the development workflow to accelerate delivery and ensure high code quality.
