Senior Frontend Developer
On-siteIndianapolis, Indiana, United States
Job Summary
Take ownership of end-to-end feature development, from planning to deployment, while driving technical discussions and decisions that balance speed and scalability. Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and architectural challenges by championing modern tools, frameworks, and processes that improve team productivity. Mentor and guide engineers at all levels, acting as a subject matter expert for React and other frontend technologies to instill best practices across the organization. Architect net-new functionality with behaviors that don't currently exist in the codebase, creating reusable layers and components using appropriate inheritance. Monitor code for problems using tools like Sentry and actively implement solutions, addressing edge cases during product development.
