Product-Level Engineering Oversight


- Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, backlog refinement) to ensure overall engineering progress aligns with roadmaps and timelines
- Maintain awareness of engineering health across all technology layers of the product - not just web
- Identify cross-layer risks, dependencies, and blockers; escalate proactively
- Know when to engage subject matter experts for other technology layers (services, iOS, Android, AEM, React Native) and facilitate collaboration to resolve cross-cutting concerns
- Ensure that web front-end integrates cleanly with APIs, backend services, content platforms, and aligns with mobile experiences



Innovation & Continuous Learning


- Stay current with web platform evolution, JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, Angular, React, and front-end trends
- Evaluate emerging frameworks, tools, and web standards
- Drive adoption of modern web technologies and development patterns



Required Skills & Experience


- 7+ years of hands-on web front-end development experience
- 2+ years in a lead or technical leadership role
