YOUR IMPACT
We are seeking an innovative and highly experienced UI Architect to define and drive the strategy for our front-end ecosystem. In this leadership role, you will be instrumental in defining, designing, and overseeing the development of our enterprise-wide Design System and sharable UI component library, ensuring consistency, scalability, and reusability across all Redwood products. You will guide development teams within an AI-Accelerated SDLC, focusing on high-level system architecture, complex UI problem-solving, and governance of design and component standards.
- Define the technical architecture and roadmap for our enterprise-wide Design System and sharable UI component library, focusing on multi-product reusability, scalability, and accessibility.
- Establish and govern front-end engineering standards and best practices, ensuring all product teams adhere to the Design System for a unified user experience.
- Lead the collaboration with UX and Product Management to translate design requirements into system-level architectural specifications and high-level component designs.
- Utilize AI coding assistants to accelerate development, focusing on complex UI components and offloading repetitive front-end tasks.
- Rigorously review, debug, and optimize AI-generated UI code for performance, accessibility, security, and adherence to established UI/UX standards.
- Apply prompt engineering techniques to maximize the efficacy of generative AI tools for writing comprehensive unit/end-to-end tests (e.g., Playwright) and drafting technical documentation for front-end systems.
- Drive major UI architectural decisions and provide technical guidance to feature development teams to ensure scalability, security, and performance across the product portfolio.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices.
- Implement and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, and end-to-end) to ensure code quality and reliability.
- Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve software defects and production issues.
- Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends, and advocate for their adoption where appropriate.
- Mentor and coach senior and junior developers on modern front-end architectural patterns, effective Design System usage, and AI-accelerated development practices.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- Extensive professional experience as a Senior/Lead Software Developer or Architect with a strong emphasis on React and modern UI architectural design.
- Solid understanding of front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., ReactJS, MobX).
- Experience with RESTful API consumption and integration.
- Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
- Unit testing and automation tools such as Playwright.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
Essential AI-Era Skills (The "New Bar")
- AI Tool Fluency: Demonstrated ability to proficiently use AI-powered developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer) in a production environment.
- Code Judgment: Proven track record of evaluating and overriding AI-generated suggestions that are technically correct but architecturally flawed or non-compliant with security and performance best practices.
- Prompting Proficiency: Experience writing clear, contextual, and effective prompts for generative AI to produce usable code, tests, or documentation.
- Adaptability & Learning: High degree of curiosity and a proactive approach to learning new AI tools and techniques that continuously reshape the development workflow.
- Domain & Architectural Focus: The capacity to abstract away from low-level coding details to focus on high-value business logic and systemic architectural integrity.
Preferred Skills and Qualifications:
- Strong proficiency in Java and the Spring Framework (Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security).
- Experience with relational databases (e.g., SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL) and ORM frameworks (e.g., Hibernate, JPA).
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g. Github actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
- Experience with accessibility standards such as WCAG and how they affect UI and UX designs.
- Understanding of agile development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)
- Familiarity with test-driven development (TDD) or behavior-driven development (BDD).
- Experience in the automation or SaaS industry.
- Contributions to open-source projects or a strong GitHub portfolio.
