About the Role 

We’re looking for a strong manager who has deep experience building frontend systems at scale. This person will help up-level the frontend team and champion sound product engineering practices across the organization. They should have a track record of delivering a quality product hand-in-hand with Design and Product Managers across multiple projects. This person will have the opportunity to define how Frontend Engineers collaborate with Product teams to maintain and improve the tools and infrastructure they use.

We’ve built a strong frontend engineering team to date, but have a lot of work ahead of us, including:

• Migrating to a modern frontend code base using the React ecosystem while building out new product features and re-architecting the frontend codebase
• Working closely with the design team to unify the UI/UX across Namely products
• Developing common React components as a part of the Namely Design System that will be used across Namely products
• Leveling up the frontend platform while building out product features, including adding more layers of testing such as screenshot and end to end testing, alerting, and performance improvements

Help us scale our business to meet the needs of our growing customer base and develop new products on the Namely platform. You'll be a critical part of our growing company, working on a cross-functional team to implement best practices in technology, architecture, and process. You’ll have the chance to work in an open and collaborative environment, receive hands-on mentorship and have ample opportunities to grow and accelerate your career.

Requirements 

• Strong opinions about quality frontend engineering practices using React.
• Experience with build systems using webpack at scale.
• Experience with RUM and metrics-driven optimization techniques.
• Experience with (and opinions about) structuring frontend teams in a centralized and embedded model.

Nice to Haves
