We’re seeking a Staff Front End Developer to lead cross-team initiatives and set AI-native & micro-frontend direction and developer experience. You will operate as a builder, bridge, and teacher raising the bar within and across teams, shaping how we deliver customer value, and mentoring others to do the same.

Join a collaborative, innovative frontend team defining our UI platform, building well-architected frontend experiences that delight customers. You and your team will shape how users interact with AI-powered security with agentic and human-in-the-loop workflows, to reduce cognitive load, make sophisticated insights actionable and present the face of our current and next-generation AI-driven security innovations at scale.

Responsibilities

We’re looking for someone who…

Thinks and operates at system level, able to connect dots across teams, products, and platforms to deliver cohesive customer experiences.
Leads initiatives with the team, makes pragmatic trade-offs, and keeps teams aligned on outcomes.
Champions an “AI-native” mindset, safely and ethically adopting agentic and AI-enabled workflows to accelerate quality and delivery.
Is an inclusive leader and clear communicator who tailors messaging to different audiences and promotes morale, cooperation, and accountability.
Balances business, technical, and team needs, understands the intent behind requirements and designs for the future while delivering value now.
Elevates others as a coach and creates growth opportunities for engineers around them.
Owns results end-to-end with consistency and integrity, remaining visible and dependable during ambiguity and change.

Partner across Product, Design, Backend/Platform, Security, and Customer teams to translate intent into scalable solutions and measurable outcomes.
Mentor and level up engineers, use code reviews to teach and learn, create documentation and internal talks to share knowledge broadly.
Define and evolve frontend best practices with team input—establish PR review guidelines, lead sprint planning and retrospectives—and maintain a living knowledge base covering core libraries, platform integration, auth flows, data fetching, observability, component conventions, accessibility, i18n/l10n, secure coding, and key design decisions.
Set architecture and technical direction for micro-frontends and cross-module integration. Design and implement reusable frontend infrastructure with robust branching, development, and deployment strategies.
Establish and champion comprehensive test strategies across feature teams, raise quality bars and expand automated coverage.
Optimize developer experience and CI/CD for the web: build pipelines, release orchestration, canary strategies, and safe rollbacks.
Embed ethical AI practices: select tools, define guardrails, integrate agentic capabilities, and evolve processes to amplify productivity.
Contribute to hiring—interview, assess, and help build a diverse and talented team.
Own and operate critical frontend services, lead incident response during business hours, drive blameless post-incident learning, and make resilient design improvements.
Proactively identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and reduce risk; advocate for cutting scope or investing more when it serves customer value.
