In this role as a Senior Staff Frontend Engineer, you will provide technical leadership at a platform and org-wide level for our Marketplace experience. Beyond owning a single team's frontend, you will shape frontend architecture, standards, and long-term technical direction for Marketplace initiatives supporting internal SKUs today and third-party integrations in the future. Your role is crucial in ensuring scalable, high-performance, and reliable user experiences that support business growth and long-term extensibility.
**Role Overview:** As a Senior Staff Frontend Engineer, you will: - Own and evolve the frontend architecture for the Marketplace platform, ensuring scalability, performance, and long-term maintainability. - Lead complex frontend initiatives spanning multiple teams and services (catalog, checkout, integrations, admin tooling). - Define and drive frontend engineering standards across Marketplace, including architecture patterns, performance, accessibility, and testing. - Partner closely with Backend and Platform teams on API design, contracts, and system boundaries. - Act as a technical advisor to Product and Design teams, balancing user experience with engineering trade-offs. - Mentor and guide Staff and Senior engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical mentorship. - Identify and address systemic frontend bottlenecks, driving improvements to increase team velocity and platform reliability. - Represent frontend concerns in cross-org technical discussions and influence decisions beyond Marketplace.
**Qualifications Required:** - 10+ years of professional frontend engineering experience in product-focused environments. - Deep expertise in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and frontend frameworks such as React (or equivalent). - Proven experience owning large-scale frontend architectures across multiple teams or domains. - Strong background in building shared component libraries, design systems, or platform-level frontend tooling. - Hands-on experience with frontend performance optimization (e.g., Web Vitals, bundle optimization, rendering strategies). - Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction without direct authority. - Comfortable operating in ambiguity and setting direction where none exists.
**Additional Details:** Nice to Have: - Experience with marketplace, e-commerce, or transactional platforms. - Exposure to microfrontend architectures and frontend platformization. - Familiarity with cloud-native backends and distributed systems. - Experience working in observability, DevOps, or platform engineering ecosystems. - Prior experience acting as a cross-team technical leader at scale.
