Lead Javascript Full-Stack Developer (ReactJS, Next.js)

You'll head the design of outstanding web experiences that look and feel like native mobile apps, owning performance optimization strategies for both desktop and mobile web view browsers (including iOS Safari). Partnering closely with backend engineers, UX designers, product owners, and executive stakeholders, you'll translate complex interactive designs into elegant, modular, and reusable front-end architectures — while building and growing high-performing engineering teams and championing best practices across the entire organization.
