Engineering Manager, Frontend Platform

Help shape how our product teams build for the web.

As Engineering Manager for our Frontend Platform team, you’ll lead the evolution of the frontend ecosystem used by 15–20 engineers across our product engineering teams. From shared architecture and tooling to observability and our core design system, your team’s work will make it easier to build, ship, and run fast, reliable user interfaces.

You’ll combine technical direction with people leadership, growing the team and shaping the platform around the needs of the engineers who use it. You’ll also help define how AI agents fit into frontend development, turning emerging possibilities into practical improvements in how our teams work.

What you’ll do

• Run the frontend platform as an internal product. You’ll shape the roadmap around product teams’ needs, set clear expectations, and drive adoption and migrations across teams through alignment and hands-on support.

• Partner on the design system. You’ll work with design and product leadership to keep it aligned with product needs and drive adoption.

• Own your team’s delivery. You’ll plan with your team, spot risks and dependencies early, and balance new capabilities, reliability, technical debt, and support for product teams at a sustainable pace.

• Build a team where people can do good work and grow. Through regular 1:1s, honest feedback, and coaching, you’ll help engineers develop their skills and careers, handle performance issues with care, and hire great people to join them.

• Own the platform’s technical health and your team’s ways of working. You’ll guide decisions on frontend architecture, shared tooling, and maintainability in line with wider engineering goals. You’ll improve development practices, including AI-assisted development, and set the bar for quality, testing, and security.

• Contribute beyond your team. You’ll work with other engineering leaders to improve shared practices, resolve common challenges, and shape engineering-wide decisions.

What we’re looking for

• Experience leading frontend platform engineering. You’ve guided teams in building or evolving shared frontend infrastructure, tooling, or design systems used by multiple teams. You can set technical direction, align stakeholders, and support your team in delivering improvements across the platform.

• Experience leading engineering teams. You’ve hired, coached, and supported engineers through difficult performance situations, helping the team grow and deliver reliably.

• Sound technical judgment. You can engage in frontend architecture discussions, challenge assumptions, and assess trade-offs across build tooling, shared libraries, performance, and maintainability. You recognize when shared solutions reduce complexity and when they create unnecessary constraints.

• Experience serving internal engineering customers. You shape priorities around product teams’ needs while maintaining a coherent platform roadmap. You know that adoption takes clear communication, useful solutions, and sustained support through migrations.

• A practical approach to developer productivity and AI. You’ve improved frontend development workflows and helped teams adopt new tools and practices, including AI-assisted development. You use AI yourself and can assess where it helps, where it falls short, and its effect on productivity, quality, and security.

• Good judgment when the path is unclear. You help teams navigate competing priorities and incomplete information, explain your trade-offs, and adapt as you learn.

• Clear, thoughtful communication in English. You listen carefully, make technical decisions understandable outside engineering, and build alignment across engineering, design, product, and business teams.

Bonus points if you have

• Hands-on experience designing frontend architecture, including micro frontends, and building development and deployment tooling.

• Experience improving frontend observability and release practices, including error tracking, performance monitoring, and safe rollouts.

• Experience building and evolving a design system or shared component library used by multiple teams.

• Experience running frontend applications and supporting infrastructure on Azure.
