About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Staff Fullstack Developer to join our team with a primary focus on frontend architecture. Reporting to the Associate Director of Engineering, the candidate will focus on frontend architecture, UI platform strategy, and the modernization of AlayaCare’s design system.
The candidate will help define how modern, scalable, accessible, and maintainable user interfaces are built across AlayaCare. They will partner with Product, Design, Engineering, and Staff+ engineers to evolve our frontend architecture, improve consistency across the product, and accelerate delivery through reusable components, patterns, tooling, and technical standards.
You will have the chance to have a hands‑on technical leadership role. You will be expected to spend a meaningful portion of your time coding, reviewing architecture, mentoring developers, and driving adoption of frontend best practices across teams. To be successful in this role you will be required to have a strong full‑stack awareness as well as the ability to collaborate effectively with backend teams on API design, performance, data modeling, and end‑to‑end product delivery.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the technical strategy and modernization of AlayaCare’s frontend architecture, with a strong focus on scalability, maintainability, performance, accessibility, and developer experience.
- Drive the evolution of AlayaCare’s design system, including reusable UI components, frontend patterns, documentation, adoption strategy, and governance across product teams.
- Partner closely with Product Design to translate design principles into practical, production‑ready components and engineering standards.
- Provide technical direction to multiple product delivery teams on frontend architecture, UI implementation patterns, component reuse, state management, testing strategy, and integration with backend APIs.
- Spend 70%+ of your time coding, including building core UI components, improving frontend infrastructure, creating reference implementations, and contributing directly to high‑impact product or platform work.
- Identify inconsistencies, duplication, technical debt, and architectural gaps in the current frontend ecosystem, then lead pragmatic improvement plans that teams can adopt incrementally.
- Work with backend and platform engineers to ensure frontend architecture is supported by clean APIs, reliable contracts, strong performance, and sustainable full‑stack patterns.
- Mentor developers through code reviews, design reviews, pair programming, technical coaching, and knowledge sharing.
- Define and promote frontend engineering standards across teams, including accessibility, automated testing, performance budgets, observability, documentation, and release safety.
- Evaluate and introduce modern frontend technologies, tools, and practices where they provide clear business and engineering value.
- Influence technical roadmaps across multiple teams and help align frontend investments with product, design, and engineering priorities.
- Manage technical stakeholders across different levels of the organization, communicating tradeoffs clearly and building alignment around architectural decisions.
- Act as a technical bar‑raiser for frontend development, helping teams make better long‑term decisions while still supporting short‑term delivery needs.
What You Bring to the Team

- Proven experience designing, building, or modernizing a design system or shared component library used by multiple product teams.
- Strong understanding of UI architecture concerns such as component design, state management, frontend performance, accessibility, responsive design, testing, and maintainability.
- Strong full‑stack awareness, including experience working with backend APIs, SQL‑backed systems, performance considerations, and end‑to‑end product delivery.
- Hands‑on coding ability and willingness to contribute directly to production code, shared libraries, technical prototypes, and reference implementations.
- Experience leading technical initiatives across multiple teams without relying on formal authority.
- Ability to make difficult technical decisions in ambiguous situations and communicate trade‑offs clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Strong mentoring, coaching, and technical communication skills.
- Experience with CI/CD, automated testing, observability, Git, and modern software delivery practices.
- Awareness of contemporary industry trends in frontend engineering, design systems, web performance, accessibility, and developer tooling.
- Strong communication skills, targeting both technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Bilingual in French and English is an asset.
