• Design and influence UI flows that interact with identity-related services, such as profile updates and user data reconciliation.
• Act as a technical guide and force multiplier, providing direction on how UI systems should be built.
• Architect and maintain the micro frontend shell application that orchestrates multiple independent applications.
• Define module federation strategies and optimize build processes for performance.

Experience:

• 7+ years of professional frontend development experience.
• 3+ years in a technical leadership or lead developer role.
• Senior-level experience in modern frontend development with strong architectural thinking.
• Proven experience with micro frontend architecture and enterprise-scale applications.
• Experience in identity-aware or IAM-adjacent UI development is strongly preferred.
• Experience working in environments with strong security review expectations.

Technical Skills:

• Deep expertise in React (v18+), including hooks, state management (e.g., Contexts), and component architecture.
• Proficiency in TypeScript for type-safe development.
• Experience with modern build tooling such as Vite, including configuration and optimization.
• Knowledge of module federation and micro frontend patterns.
• Strong understanding of secure authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth, JWT).
• Ability to evaluate secure API consumption patterns in enterprise IAM environments.
• Experience with API integration at scale using tools like Axios.
• Familiarity with component libraries like Material-UI (MUI), SASS/SCSS, and responsive design principles.
• Experience with unit testing using Vitest or Jest.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or integrating UI for identity platforms or IAM-driven systems.
• Knowledge of authentication protocols such as OAuth, OIDC, and SAML.
• Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker.
