How you will impact the organization…
We are seeking a strategic technical leader to drive the architectural vision for our next-generation eCommerce and customer experience platform. This role is pivotal in shifting our engineering strategy from monolithic applications to a flexible, scalable, and distributed web ecosystem. The Staff Engineer will not only architect the core foundation that hosts independent applications but also set the multi-year technical strategy that empowers autonomous product teams to develop, deploy, and manage features independently. This position requires expert-level domain knowledge to bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and seamless user experience.
The value you will deliver…
• Architectural Strategy & Vision: Lead the high-level architecture and implementation of a highly scalable, distributed front-end ecosystem, utilizing modern modular architecture patterns to host independent functional applications.
• Platform Engineering: Design and implement core platform services (Identity, Navigation, Global State, and Inter-App Communication) that serve as the foundation for all product teams, ensuring a unified and resilient customer experience.
• Technical Standardization: Define and enforce strict coding standards, application lifecycle contracts, and integration patterns to ensure application isolation and memory optimization across the system.
• Cross-Team Leadership: Influence multiple product teams by establishing a shared component library and design system standards to prevent styling conflicts and ensure visual consistency across independent deployments.
• Performance & Scalability: Drive architectural improvements that ensure the platform remains performant, responsive, and capable of preserving user state across complex workflows, eliminating bottlenecks associated with monolithic deployments.
• Mentorship & Code Fluency: Serve as the technical authority for front-end engineering; mentor senior engineers, review complex technical designs, and solve the deepest coding/debugging challenges related to state management and asynchronous loading.
• DevOps & CI/CD Integration: Collaborate with DevOps to implement independent deployment strategies that allow for atomic rollouts and instant rollbacks without requiring full platform regression testing.
• Build vs. Buy: Conduct strategic evaluations for new technologies and tools to improve developer velocity and long-term code health.
• Contribute to the technical recruitment process to identify top-tier engineering talent.
• Write high-level technical documentation and white papers to communicate architectural decisions to executive stakeholders and non-technical audiences.
• Serve as a technical liaison between product management and engineering to ensure feasibility of roadmap items.
• Perform other duties and responsibilities as required, assigned, or requested. Consensus reserves the right to add or change duties at any time.
What you will bring to the table…
• 10+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on high-scale web applications.
• 8+ years front-end architecture experience with a mastery of JavaScript/TypeScript, React, MFE, and modern frameworks with deep experience in component architecture and performance optimization.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional technical initiatives or platform re-architecture projects.
• Proven experience establishing engineering best practices, code quality standards, and technical roadmaps across multiple teams.
• Proven track record of reducing technical debt or improving developer velocity through architectural redesign.
• Distributed Systems Architecture: Deep understanding of techniques for splitting code across distributed systems, lazy loading, and runtime integration.
• Infrastructure & API: Experience designing secure API gateways, handling authentication, and managing complex data flow between client and server.
• State Management: Proven ability to manage complex application state and lifecycle methods in a single-page application environment.
• Strategic Influence: Ability to set multi-year technical strategy and influence direction across teams without direct authority.
• Problem Solving: Proactively identifies systemic risks (e.g., single points of failure) and architects solutions to mitigate them before they impact productivity.
• Communication: Expert capability in communicating complex architectural topics (whiteboarding systems with drill-down capability) to both engineering teams and executive leadership.
• Autonomy: Takes ownership of significant, multi-team projects and drives them to completion with high standards for quality and detail.
You will stand out if you also have…
• Experience working in regulated industries such as Legal, Healthcare, or FinTech.
• Familiarity with legacy protocols (e.g., Fax, SIP) or bridging legacy systems with modern web interfaces.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes).
Additional details…
• Location requirements: Fully remote within the U.S.
• Travel requirements: Up to 10% travel.
• Physical requirements: Must be able to sit for long periods, as well as, handle long periods of screen time.
• Technology requirements: Reliable, high speed internet.
• Eligible for sponsorship: No.
The salary range for this role is $130,000-$200,000 USD annually. The total compensation package for this position is negotiable and may also include annual performance bonus, ESPP, enhanced time off packages and benefits. This job doesn't have an expiration date and will remain open until a qualified candidate is hired.
