Job Title: Sr Front-End Architect
Duration: 12+ months
Location: Jersey City (locals top priority)
Visa Type: any visa as long as eligible to work
Exp: 14+ Yrs
Summary
Lead the design and development of modern, high-performance web experiences using React and the broader front-end ecosystem. This role is front-end (React + TypeScript) 60% and backend (Java Spring) 40% focused on skills to deliver cutting-edge UI & Microservices capabilities and set engineering standards.
Job Responsibilities
- Lead development of complex, user-facing web applications using React + TypeScript, owning the front-end architecture and delivery approach.
- Develop microservices / API contracts (GraphQL/REST) using Java and Spring technologies and front-end friendly design patterns (pagination, filtering, error models).
- Partner with UX/Product to translate designs into polished experiences: influence requirements with feasibility, performance, and accessibility considerations.
- Establish and evolve front-end standards: component architecture, state management, routing, code conventions, and testing practices.
- Build using Banking's EXDS UI foundations: design system/component library, theming, responsive layouts, and cross-browser compatibility.
- Drive performance and quality: Core Web Vitals, bundle optimisation, rendering strategies, caching, and runtime observability.
- Implement advanced UI capabilities such as rich data visualisation, real-time updates, offline-friendly patterns, and robust form/workflow experiences.
- Ensure secure client-side patterns: safe auth flows, token handling guidance, secure storage, and protection against common web vulnerabilities.
Required
14+ years professional software engineering experience with significant depth in front-end web development; experience leading projects and mentoring engineers.
- Expert-level React proficiency (hooks, component composition, context, rendering behaviour, concurrency-related patterns where applicable).
- Strong TypeScript skills (types-as-design, generics, strictness strategies) and modern JavaScript fundamentals.
- Strong Java and Java Spring skills to develop microservices / API contracts (GraphQL/REST) using Java and Spring technologies and front-end friendly design patterns (pagination, filtering, error models).
- Deep experience with modern front-end tooling: Vite/Webpack, Babel/SWC, npm/pnpm/yarn, monorepos (optional), and build/release pipelines.
- Strong CSS skills: responsive design, CSS architecture (CSS Modules, CSS-in-JS, or utility frameworks), theming, and consistent styling at scale.
- Advanced testing practices: Jest/Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress for E2E; test strategy ownership.
- Accessibility expertise: WCAG/ARIA, keyboard navigation, screen-reader considerations, and automated + manual a11y testing.
- Performance engineering: profiling, bundle splitting, SSR/CSR trade-offs, caching strategies, and Core Web Vitals optimization.
- API integration expertise with GraphQL and REST (schema-driven development, error handling, pagination, caching, and client state strategies).
- Security awareness for web apps: XSS/CSRF prevention, dependency hygiene, secure auth/session patterns (OIDC awareness a plus).
- Observability for the front end: client-side logging/metrics, error reporting, and debugging production issues.
- MUST: Proficiency using AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate implementation, refactoring, test creation, and debugging—while validating correctness and adhering to secure handling practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with SSR/meta frameworks: Next.js / Remix and SEO considerations.
- Experience leveraging a design system (Storybook, tokens).
- Experience with micro-frontend patterns and module federation (where relevant).
- Experience with visualisation and rich UI: D3, Canvas/WebGL, advanced tables/grids, animation libraries.
- Familiarity with authentication integrations (OIDC/OAuth2) and enterprise SSO constraints.
- Proven track record modernising legacy front ends and improving developer experience (DX).

What makes a front end developer role senior level?
A senior level front end developer role is defined by scope and ownership, not just technical skill. Senior engineers are expected to make architectural choices, set coding standards, review others' work, and take accountability for how a system performs in production. They collaborate with product and design stakeholders, drive technical decisions independently, and actively raise the capability of the engineers around them.
Which industries hire the most senior level front end developers?
Senior Level front end developer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Insurance, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors invest heavily in front end quality because their products depend directly on the user experience, making senior-level expertise in performance, accessibility, and scalable component architecture especially valuable.
