Atlanta Georgia

We are seeking a Staff Engineer, React Web to join our Digital Engineering team and drive the technical direction of our enterprise-scale, multi-brand digital ecosystem. This role is focused on front-end architecture and engineering, with deep expertise in React, modern web application design, and enterprise-grade digital platforms. 

 

As a Staff Engineer, you will shape how we design, scale, and operate customer-facing applications that power our global web presence. You will set the technical standard for performance, resiliency, security, accessibility, and maintainability in our React-based applications, while partnering closely with backend and product teams. Exposure to GitHub Copilot (or similar AI-powered developer tools) and Generative AI (GenAI) is a plus, particularly in driving productivity and innovative customer experiences.  

RESPONSIBILITIES

Architecture & Systems Design 

  • Architect and evolve React-based enterprise web applications, ensuring scalability, performance, accessibility, and observability. 

  • Apply modern frontend patterns: micro-frontends, component-driven architecture, state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil), and server-side rendering (Next.js). 

  • Define standards for integration with backend APIs (REST/GraphQL) and real-time event-driven services. 

  • Establish and enforce responsive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.1), and internationalization best practices. 

  • Optimize edge delivery and caching strategies (Cloudflare or other CDNs) for global performance. 

  • Ensure secure and seamless integration with identity management solutions (Auth0, Azure AD B2C). 

  • Explore and guide the integration of GenAI-driven capabilities in web applications, such as personalization, conversational UI, and intelligent search. 

 

Delivery & Execution 

  • Provide hands-on technical leadership for CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, with automated quality gates. 

  • Champion automation-first practices in frontend engineering: testing (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright), performance validation, and observability. 

  • Drive adoption of developer productivity tools such as GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted coding solutions. 

  • Establish coding standards, design system adoption, and code review practices across geo-distributed teams. 

 

Collaboration & Influence 

  • Partner with backend architects and product managers to align on end-to-end application architecture, technical roadmap, and release strategies. 

  • Facilitate design reviews, proof-of-concept initiatives, and technical workshops. 

  • Influence decision-making across global teams to balance speed with platform sustainability. 

  • Partner with product, design, and data teams to identify GenAI use cases and integrate them into customer-facing web features. 

 

Mentorship & Growth 

  • Mentor engineers in frontend engineering best practices, React ecosystem, design system adoption, and web performance optimization. 

  • Promote a culture of quality-first, automation-first, and innovation-driven engineering. 

  • Enable teams to design resilient, maintainable, and scalable web experiences that abstract vendor dependencies. 

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE QUALIFICATIONS

4 YEAR DEGREE AND/OR BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE OR RELATED FIELD

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years in a Staff/Principal/Lead role. 

  • Proven track record of delivering enterprise-scale, React-based web applications with global reach. 

  • Strong hands-on expertise in: 

  • React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3 (SASS, Tailwind, CSS-in-JS). 

  • State management libraries (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, or equivalent). 

  • Frontend performance optimization and Core Web Vitals. 

  • Experience integrating frontend applications with backend APIs (REST/GraphQL). 

  • Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, testing frameworks, and automation practices. 

  • Experience with GitHub Copilot or similar AI coding assistants for productivity. 

  • Experience working in agile environments with geo-distributed teams. 

  • Understanding of secure authentication and customer identity management (Auth0, Azure AD B2C). 

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES

  • Exposure to Generative AI (LLMs, embeddings, AI-driven personalization, conversational UIs). 

  • Experience with multi-tenant or multi-brand digital platforms. 

  • Familiarity with design systems (Storybook, Material UI, or similar). 

  • Experience with observability platforms (Datadog, Application Insights, Grafana, Prometheus). 

  • Strong ability to communicate technical trade-offs to executives and engineers. 

  • Awareness of responsible AI practices (cost, bias mitigation, governance).
